[Wikipedia-l] Mapping complement to Wikipedia?

Oops, sent my reply to Wikitech first, I hope the discussion does not fork
:)

There is a Historical Event Markup and Linking Project

http://heml.mta.ca/heml-cocoon/

They try to address issues mentioned here.
There is demo of an animated map there as well.

They choose SVG as the medium which seems a good choice.
I know there are (were ?) problems with SVG viewing on Mozilla,
but that will be fixed, I'm sure.
