Yeah, my thoughts exactly.. it'd be pretty icky.

I'll end up going the graphic way most likely, the dynamic SVG idea is a
good one since I need to be able to highlight certain parts of the work
flow dynamically.

Here is one exmaple

+-----+           
|  S  |           
+-----+           
   |              
+-----+   +-----+ 
|  1  |---|  1a | 
+-----+   +-----+ 
   |         |    
+-----+   +-----+ 
|  2  |   |  E  | 
+-----+   +-----+ 
   |              
+-----+           
|  3  |           
+-----+           
   |              
+-----+           
|  E  |           
+-----+           
 
Thanks
