It also exposes the d3 objects so you can pick them up and run to create some really cool stuff. Very much a work in process, but it is serving as a reference for some implementations of book features on the web. The specs themselves are often useful reading: Each table will compete as a team to answer

The code below is the HTML required to make a map.
