Visio has a nice feature: the stencil files (VSS). Those files are used to group
a set of images related to each other and are mostly equivalent to "gallery
themes" in openoffice.org.

Those VSS files are valuable because now 3rd parties companies produce VSS files
to help there customers draw schemas. For example, Cisco provides many stencils
for all its hardware:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod_visio_icon_list.html

It would be nice if OOo provided such kind of files where the user would just
double-click on the stencils or drop the files somewhere, and those would be
automagically added to the gallery.

I think that this is a strategic feature, as it impacts 3rd parties companies.

Note: At the moment, Kami does this by developping an extension (OXT), with SDG
files. Maybe a dedicated extension would be better.

Note: it should be possible to do such stencils with ODG, SVG... (issue 58870,
issue 48702)
