Subject: Re: [docbook] navigable schema?


I am guilty of not typing out my full vision. I was thinking it should
be done with SVG. In this way, elements could be made to move and
react with the mouse, as well as be found/controlled by a search form
on a web page.

But, you know, baby steps.

I do realize that a graph with more than a few dozen nodes can quickly
become very large in terms of screen space or very dense at a constant
size.
