I've made a mockup:
http://www.projectaon.org/staff/jonathan/new%20action%20charts/crtable.htm
For me, it displays with scrollbars in Firefox. This could at least be
fixed by adjusting the SVG to make it smaller. In IE8, I'm only seeing
the PNG fallback.
How does embedding the SVG in the page help make it more accessible?
