very cool, christophe, thanks for taking the time to compile this list.
The one thing that always astounds me about people who generate dataviz with d3 is that they almost never do anything interactive with it (filter, zoom, etc) and if they do, they won't use any of d3's insanely cool/easy transitions to make the visualization smoothly morph from one state to the next.
Really, if you're going to start messing around with d3, read about Mike Bostock's thoughts on change blindness and object constancy.

My swimlane chart made the list (http://bl.ocks.org/bunkat/1962173) and it includes panning and zooming functionality as another example. Be warned, it's pretty ugly looking!
