This looks to be desirable from a broader perspective, that's for sure.
Just in case I wasn't clear (I was mixing up terms a fair bit earlier) -
I'm thinking of a single map that contains a chart. The chart is the map
and the data being charted would be considered map data.
Now, how you would browse such a map/chart opens up some interesting ideas
too, especially if you add in the context of grabbing external images as
symbols. Much like we do with MIN/MAXSCALE layer settings, you could have
"scale" options that show more detail as you zoom into a part of the chart.
Hmmm...interesting stuff. Thanks for the comments.
