It uses Raphaël.js to insert an SVG (or VML on old IE) element into the container. There's definite potential for hooking into DOM events, although there's no code to support that at the moment.

Zooming/panning isn't something I've had a need for yet, the same for data bindings. There's no reason why they couldn't be integrated (although D3 could be a pretty serious job..)

I see. Have you considered rendering a Dom element in JavaScript instead of the SVG approach? As a developer I feel there is a lower barrier of entry for me because I pretty much don't need to understand SVG, or Raphael for that matter, to use your library otherwise, however I would like more control over the overlay elements.

In any case, great work!
