Well Chartserver did offer SVG at one point, although at the time SVG was (and kinda still is) under supported in the browser space AFAICT.

Having recently rediscovered the non-joy of putting somebody else's javascript on a page (in that case WebRing) I am a bit gun shy of the whole model[0].

I really like the idea of 'server driven charts' for easy web pages and illustration. But I would rather have it be something I could put on an Raspberry Pi in my network so that I didn't have to worry either about the privacy issues or it going away (as Chartserver has been trying to do :-).

That's an interesting comment - we're building a SaaS 'point and click' style D3-based chart designer (http://chartblocks.com) but hadn't really given much thought so far to people that prefer to self host.
