Hi Chris, If my memory serves me correctly Visio should be able to handle most SVG elements with minor exceptions. Let me point you to the article Richard See wrote about Visio's support of SVG at the SVG Open 2003.
http://www.svgopen.org/2003/papers/SVG_Scenarios_using_Microsoft_Office_Visio_2003/ Another word to the wise. I was one of the QA on this project and there are tricks to the round trip capabilities of Visio that you can play off of if you are familiar with XML Namespaces. Try creating a diagram with your connections in Visio, then save as svg. When you look at the output SVG document you will notice a whole bunch of extra attributes and data under a microsoft namespace. These of course are trivial to remove with an XSLT. However, you could take cues from these knowing that they were put in such that a visio document could be round-tripped. The round tripping feature of Visio works quite well. One of the few things you will not get from a round trip is equations (if I remember correctly - it was about 3 years ago now). Anyways, check out that paper and give me a shout if you have any problems.
