Processing.js[0] might be a good start? Or maybe Paper.js[1]. Possibly including Tween.js, or something else[2]. It wouldn't be a memory-conscious thing at the outset (without investing much more work), but if there was a more convenient layer overtop of one of those, or a combination, as a drop-in widget that can be customized by some simple UI or much more rudimentary scripting as something possibly embeddable or native to a blog or news platform might cut it.

Sounds like a good idea. IIRC D3 came out of the NYT? Of course that was rather programmer-centric, but similar root need seems to have inspired it.

I imagine some sort of excel-like tabular data -> charts with sliders and filters could work pretty well as a starting point.

Take a BI tool and trim all of the fat. All the BI tools in existence right now go hard on enterprise targeting, and they have all of the complexities involved in that.
