That is a nice post indeed, simple and to the point. I also enjoyed http://www.excelcharts.com/blog/creative-pie-charts-better-i... but that is a different genre of visualisation.
IMHO, the best way is to try to model the data, then calculate the ratio between the predicted and the observed (real) data point. From there, you would have an index that account for the scaling in the system. The problem is that the model needs a good number of points and the data should not be too heteroscedastic. It's the hot new thing in scientometrics...
