I think the first step is defining the source format.  The proposed
patch uses the dia XML source format, but this is said to have some
drawbacks (namely: the source is too verbose, the generated png is too
bloated, and only one tool to handle it).  SVG was also proposed as an
alternative, but there wasn't much discussion about it.  And finally we
have xfig.

So what is it?

Maybe we could have diagrams generated by different tools; e.g. we could
use GraphViz for some things.
