Well, it was enough said for me. I could not have said what you just said. (01)
Whilst roaming that page, I landed on
http;//www.erational.org/software/traceyou/
which is a program that uses flash to paint a trace of the server log at
any site that installs it. I clicked the link that to see how it works, had
to download flash, and, the damned thing is still painting the trace of the
log that is ostensibly the navigation root I took. Makes no sense to me,
but it's interesting. Shortly, that page will look more like a giant black
blob than a spiderweb. Maybe there is a bug in the program: it keeps
deleting some of the lines it just drew. (02)
If graphviz could be (maybe it has already?) tweaked to paint something
interactive, like SVG or Flash so that it can paint navigation maps... (03)
