ok. I was thinking about doing the SVG -> Bitmap rendering in Seaside, 
because no browser fully supports SVG, and it doesnt look this will 
change in the near future (e.g. 
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/SVG_in_Firefox). So doing the 
Bitmap rendering could avoid compatibility issues. But high-quality 
rendering is... difficult.
Supporting Silverlght/XAML probably requires an intermediate vector 
graphics model which can translate itself into SVG and XAML (maybe even 
OpenOffice SXD), but that doesnt sound enticing (the usual 
cross-platform / conversion problems).
