Generally speaking this is a nice application. Anyway I wouldn't suggest 
to spend efforts within a few next months on complete new visualisation 
as we currently have two or three of them and even then not using all 
capabilities. I would rather focus on delivery topology information for 
UI, integration and including more functionality in pUI, etc than 
working on new tool.

You are right it's interesting to investigate it for future purposes.
