I’ve got a mockup of a possible rendering of the sequence of plays….

http://zboing.ca/shakespeare/svg/svgAnimation.svgz

(the z isn’t just being cute… it’s sign that the SVG stuff is compressed … only by a factor of 5×!!)

There are other considerations :

• what about the tempo of the wipe?… I’ve got also a suggestion to make it such that the L (as in TLN) numbers would be constant in time… Hence a longer play would take longer to wipe through…
• where to play the animation… for now, it seems that within the browser is the most probable solution…. I’ll figure some stuff out eventually!
