Hi all

I'm wondering if any thought has been given to rendering maps to SVG. I'm asking
that especially in the light of
<http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/07/svg-for-all-with-flash/> which might give
use in-browser display of SVG, and perhaps even interactive SVG. Using that with
OSM would be really cool!

Now, afaik Mapnik supports SVG rendering. But I suspect that interactive vector
maps would work differently from interactive pixel-based maps: you could scale
smoothly, could use much bigger tiles, and would use level-of-detail layers
instead of pre-scaled tiles...

Does somethign like that exist yet?
