It wouldn't help for the DOM size, but couldn't the XML files be
compressed by far using WAP Binary XML?
My main problem with the <path d="..."/> approach is that
there are some path elements like arcs that have no "real"
XML equivalent. I can use <line ... /> instead of "l",
but there is no element for drawing arcs (AFAIK).
