The problem is that it requires JavaScript. A lot of people have JavaScript turned off for PM (since personal nodes can embed JavaScript and do evil things with PM's cookies).

So you'd have to make the whole thing optional. Which means you have to do at least a little more work so that users can select which option they're going with. And if few users are going to end up using it, then it sounds like you're going to end up with a lot of work with little gain.
