Interesting.  I think I'll make a new years resolution to work on improving
/extending this.  Sorta sad that there is no way to say "ok, show me the
winner using Tideman" or something.  Or at least "show me a pretty pairwise
matrix"

Here's what I'd do:  make all the input data available in a javascript data
structure, served as a .js file that anyone can include in a page.  Then
anyone who wants to make a javascript tabulator and results display for
their method of choice can make a web page to present the results/analysis
as they please.

(I'm personally partial to pairwise matrices with a bar graph:
http://karmatics.com/voting/bars-demo.html ...that would quite easily hook
into this)
