[mapguide-internals] Re: OpenLayers + SVG = MapGuide Vector Viewer

[Zac Spitzer]

Yep, even Facebook and Google are dropping IE6 support, actually
I believe Facebook announced they would drop IE6 support the moment
that Microsoft released the first beta for IE9.

If we are going to do more vector based rendering in the browser, we
really should look at server generalisation support within MapGuide.

on the fly generalisation (excuse my aussie spelling) but also
perhaps caching those results to an intermediate sqllite cache
similiar to the tile cache.

also gzip/deflate encodings + cache headers come to mind

and of course this would also benefit our existing rendering technologies

Canvas in OL is great for dumb layers, but doing stuff like clustering
falls down because each click involves an R-Tree search.
