Since SVG using progressive rendering and the "painters model", you can
actually start streaming an SVG file and just send new information when
it's available (if you can live with new content always drawing on top
of old).

Alternatively, you can use AJAXian style JS communication to poll and
receive new data, modifying the SVG DOM on the fly to add new data.
