Move your map initialization into an onload call, instead of loading it
in a defer='defer' in the body of the page. (Moving it into the head of
the page might work as well.) Line 50 of the VML.js is checking whether
document.namespaces exists (because we can't set up VML unless it does),
and it doesn't exist until the page is fully loaded.
