I'm not sure why you feel that way wrt dia..? As was pointed out in the
thread, if you decompress the dia, it's pretty reasonable XML and diffs,
etc, will work reasonably well with it.

I can't see it being a major effort to get it from the wiki into the
docs, though perhaps I'm being a bit over-optomistic wrt that. Still,
I'd much rather have it somewhere than not have it at all...
