I think you can do all that with SVG (though it probably wouldn't look very nice and would probably have to extend SVG a bit as Inkscape does). But what I really wanted to say is what Diego Jacobi said - I believe there are simply to many possible kinds of diagrams to have a usable standard. By standard I mean something that is fairly constant which again I believe isn't possible for diagrams. But maybe all new things are done by people that didn't know they were impossible when they did it ;). So I'm keeping my fingers crossed - maybe Dia's XML could become close to a standard some day.
