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
