So, since most programming languages work in ascii, what
you are saying is that this pretty diagram would be quite difficult to convert
to a lot of words in ascii, which may or may not be correct.
So why do we want to make such diagrams the normative
specification rather than using something like pseudocode, which is much easier
to convert to a programming language?
And we should consider that if we need to convert from a
non-normative pretty diagram to pseudocode or code, that would presumably be
more easily done by the specification authors who have a profound understanding
of the design, than for a reader not involved in working on the
design.
I fully agree that, for the reasons you give, using such
pretty diagrams as normative would generally be a problem.
