Create a simple icon font set for standard balloon types to be part of framework

Another idea on this (I was just thinking about balloon tail positioning) might be using something like Raphael.js, an js SVG library. With something like you could actually knock up a system fairly easily that could point the tail at a particular element regardless of where it is on the page (via reading that element's position and redrawing the poly for the tail appropriately.

This is an idea, yes. I think there will need to be a regular normal set and very custom created balloons. Tails or entire baloons may be hand - drawn in a "CAPOW" editor - or packs created that can be stretched and manipulated.

I've used Raphael for some basic charting in the past.
