Hi Tavmjong, ironically I'm actually looking for a way to do it in the web. I think I'll just use Mike bostock's approach (the link in my last message) of cutting up a path into a bunch of small paths with varying colors, for now. - Joe

For example, is there a way in Inkscape to do something similar to ht tp://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4163057, but using the Inkscape UI, not writing code?
Not easily. If the line doesn't cross itself one can use a mesh gradient as the attached SVG shows (note meshes are not supported by any browsers and one must use the trunk version of Inkscape to render the attached SVG).
Inkscape can create a number of different configurations of meshes automatically (circular, star, etc.) but not along paths. I've actually been thinking recently about how to automate meshes along paths.
