Yes, zoom + scroll looks pretty good! The zooming could also be used
for some special effect - maybe zooming out at the start of the level
or some fast back-and-forth zoom when a team is killed.

BTW I can't get "--display-console" to work - it says "no console support".

When it comes to vector, I guess I should be using that .svg format.
It seems like .svg prefer to have a certain size in "pixels". Will it
matter to you wether a vector file is 10x15px or 1000x1500px?

How about colors? Could LW6 replace all fill="#00FFFF" in a .svg file
with another color? Is transparency supported?

Regarding cursers, each level folder could contain a file called
cursor.svg which were used for the in-game cursors. Of course, it
would have to be colorized for each team.

Hey, I liked the color shifting in the LW5 cursors - I go offtopic
now, but I just found a clip showing the heavy color cycling in
Endorfun:

I'll continue to play with level creation, .xml files, vector art and
that video thing. Please don't let all my talk distract you too much
from that network thing - I have a feeling it's a quite important
feature.
