I agree there's no single best way to show a graph.  A browser, though, is the  
best I've come across.  It seems to work just fine for browsing a file system  
graph, so why do you think it would break down for the web?  For circular  
links, I'm quite happy going in circles just like the NEXTSTEP file viewer.   
The browser, after all, is supposed to show the current path as well as the  
current selection.  It's often kind of nice to see how you got somewhere as  
well as where you ended up.

Ideally, a WWW client should support an easy way to drop in new graph views,  
all of which are synchronized to the current selection.  Then one could have  
browsers, graphs, plain old documents, and whatever else one dreamed up to  
write.
