of course, if you want the spec, you need to go to the source over at
w3.org. I gave you a link to the DOM spec already some time ago...

pretty friggin' cool web application, dude! IE users won't see it
though. Hopefully, some day this kind of open web techs mashup will be
the rule indeed, rather than some html to load a Flash object...
Should have your name there somewhere, possibly in the header, meta tag...

even more elegant would have lisp processing s-expressions to produce
xml... ;)

html5 canvas is for bitmap drawing. Vector drawing with SVG will be as
much of a getto as Adobe Illustrator is next to Photoshop...
you're only annoyed that IE never got around at implementing it...
BTW, vector graphics vs bitmap graphics remind me of functional vs
imperative programming: in bitmap, you have global state (the canvas)
which is directly modified each time an operation occurs; in vector
drawing, the canvas is updated (evaluated) by the result of the
(out-of-order) evaluation of element-drawing functions.
Imperative, somehow, is much more popular than functional style, despite
not (automatically) allowing for undo, reproduceability (??) and
non-destructive editing. My guess is that such features in software
like Gimp and Photoshop are basically a twisted realization of
"Greenspun's tenth rule":
"Any sufficiently complicated imperative program contains an ad hoc,
informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of the
features of a functional program."
This preference seems to go well even among artists!, who would guess? :p

That's what makes it so good.

Yes. I was eventually forced to do this. Which is a shame, because the
W3C spec for most XML-related things is utterly incomprehensible (and
mostly devoid of examples).

After the hours of development work I put into this? How dare you
suggest such a... oh, alright then. ;-)
I think a more rigorous conclusion would be "LoC is a really vague way
to measure 'complexity'", but we knew that already...

Meh, I try.
It'll be "pretty friggin' cool" when it actually shows the tree
construction steps, takes the original input, compresses it, neatly
prints out the result, and tells you how many bits you just saved...
As I say, I've written many little demos like this. But it looks so much
better with real graphics rather than crude ASCII art. (!)

for now, just being able to show the whole tree would be great: for as
small as 2 paragraphs of text, the container clips the diagram and
you're not able to see the whole tree. Redimensioning the container or
scroll bars would be nice... :)
