three comments (i'm still on vacation for one more day, so it's all brief 
stuff today =):

- this is going to encourage people to do the Wrong Thing(tm) in many cases by 
putting stuff that belongs in applets in engines. we'll have to provide some 
guiance in the apidox i think

- the implementation is ok as it stands, however it will eventually need to be 
improved to support multiple visualizations. what happens when applet A sets 
the data to one thing and applet B sets it to something else? that issue is 
why i haven't implemented this myself.

- what are you using this for, exactly? =)
