[DAS] Question about das development.

Search for "SVG" and "genome browser" on google.  Here's one:

Here's another:

Here's a third (ruby):

There's also a commercial java based browser that uses XML as its data 
transport and SVG for its UI, but for the life of me I can't find the name or 
URL (it's in development).
