at this point i'm considering creating a backend framework that sends a grid of images and uses imagemaps for clicks.

with fast internet raster images shouldn't be a big issue.

Just use SVG/CSS with JavaScript events, that is the approach for the new FitBit SDK.
Adobe ImageReady... now that is giving me some flashbacks. Pun sort of intended.
we could send 60fps image diffs now, we have the bandwidth.

and all the browser does is send the window size and cursor position.

We really don't.
