Here is a hastiyl thrown together proof-of-concept, done with prototype and script.acoul.us. It would be trivial to add buttons to control the transparency (but I am too tired):

Tested on Firefox and Opera under Linux.
Konqueror 3.5.6 fails the transparency effect, renders the SVG wrong and generally takes ages to decompress the JS library. Oh well. But "flashing" the second image would still work.
I think it would benefit from flipping between the two instead of the fancy transparency thing you've got going. It's not so easy to spot gradual changes: abrupt would be better. That would also make it a lot easier to implement, I strongly suspect, with no mucking about with transparency.
