Neat!

What would be great would be if they developed an API like Google Charts http://code.google.com/apis/chart/ where they could do an ajax request for some type of mathematical function or graph and get the result back as a generated image. It would be great because they might one day open it for external developers to play with. (Whereas a flash or silverlight solution isn't interoperable with anything else.)
