I was assuming an HTML5 canvas - but I guess I could be convinced of a
better solution if there is a strong proposal.

My understanding is that current ie is reasonably standards compliant. I
certainly wouldn't expect it to work in ie6 or something outdated like

The ideas page is just that - a list of ideas. We'll look at proposals

requirements that we have set out. Whether or not something like the
partial pressure graphs is implemented isn't really key to the decision
