Hello Talmage, For the functionality you describe you could leverage the library to parse the SCXML document, then write a program that graphically represents the model (likely an Applet or SVG). This is overkill for that purpose it seems. The markup is more intended for functionality and not presentation like HTML.
It sounds as though you're looking for a CASE or UML modeling tool instead. Commons SCXML essentially models the W3C specification in the form of XML but you would have to program in functionality to perform something like that. You're likely better of with an Eclipse IDE plug-in to create your charts, export as graphic and include in your HTML pages. See: http://www.objectsbydesign.com/tools/umltools_byPrice.html SCXML is designed to provide an abstraction between VoiceXML and CCXML which were embedding flow control elements, etc. If you read the documentation on W3C and the Voice Browser working group it describes further - eventually leading to VoiceXML 3, etc. Hope that helps!
