Re: svg for world map

Raphael.js is another popular library for maps: http://raphaeljs.com/world

During the US presidential election I did an informal "State of the
election map union" for the tech behind election maps. Here's what I found:
ABC - Raphaël / SVG
Washington Post - Leaflet / SVG+HTML
Politico - Raphaël / SVG
NYT - Custom? Canvas / HTML
RealClearPolitics - Raphaël / SVG
FoxNews - Raphaël / SVG
MSNBC - Raphaël / SVG
Google - PolyGonzo / Canvas
HuffingtonPost - Raphaël / SVG
BBC - Raphaël / SVG

(SVG won the election :)
