MapServer vs SVG MapView

[Lowell Filak]

Looks pretty cool but I don't think you can compare the two products
because mapserver will generate dynamic content reading from the current
data source whereas svg mapview is a "publisher" and exports what exists
at the time it is run (if I'm reading it correctly).
I think a comparison between something like arcreader & svg mapview is a
closer one.
