So outside the fact that I'm a pretty elementary fellow, and your way
is perfectly fine, and I was starting to think I'd need to do
something similar, I thought based on my reading of the docs, that I
could be one of the K00L kids.

I thought I could have my Javascript call the data source directly.
And there was some magic in the google javascript classes that would
take the CVS file that is returned and stick it in the data source
automagically.  That way my source web page that is delivered to the
browser wouldn't be thousands of lines long of:
data.addRows
data.addRows
data.addRows
...

Again, its very possible (dare I say probable) I'm total incorrect
about how this google visualization stuff works.  But it looks like
you can do what I'm talking about if the datasource is a google
spreadsheet.

Thanks
Jay
