I am actually looking at Renderer.SVG [http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Renderer/SVG-js.html] and Renderer.SVG2 [http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Renderer/SVG2-js.html] and wondering if there is a chance with those. I am not familiar with the innards of OL, so am not sure how a renderer relates to a layer. I don't see any examples with SVG... did I overlook them?
