If this stuff was implemented in SVG it would be cool, but unfortunatly SVG has become too unweildy... The latest draft of the spec has support for SOCKETS?!??! WTF???!?!?! you don't need that! SVG should remain a presentational language. Stick to graphics and leave the rest to other protocols/components. There's a good post on this here (I think she's an Opera developer but I'm not sure)
Currently the SVG spec is 719 pages long... TWICE THAT OF CSS 2.1... and alot of browsers don't even have support for that yet. Not to mention that SVG doesn't even have decent support for more than one line of text even.
A few years ago I did an undergraduate thesis on interpreted languages (created my own). At the time there was hardly anything in terms of books or resources on the subject. Everything was geared towards some variant of lexx or yacc, and I eventually ended up producing a crappy version of something that resembled basic.

But I guess as long as it'a another government that's screwing with you it's ok.
Last I heard both the US Navy Intel guy and the Canadian Pilot both still had vision problems.
