i assume you mean in the context of a web page, rather than in general.

they are nice to have, nasty to have to depend on (download time), and
aggravating to have inlined in the page. what about a text breakdown,
with
a link to the ssd so that you can grab it if you want.

also, mightn't it be possible to draw SSDs using HTML tables, with GIF
icons for the systems? you would only need one gif for each type of
system, so they would get cached pretty quickly. otoh, the overhead of
downloading twenty small images might be overwhelming.
