Re: Import Visio2002 document

[John Palmieri <johnp martianrock com>]

Wow, perhaps using the XSTL to convert Visio XML documents to Dia 
documents and visa versa.  Only problem would be the shapes.  Since they 
are not exactly the same, documents would look different between Visio 
and Dia.  Well it is a start.  As for well-formedness (is that a word?) 
   any data between tags are considered CDATA (Character data) so binary 
keys would be legal if they were between open and closed tags.  However 
if they are outside then that would mess up any legit parser.

What do you think they are there for?  Microsoft's embrace and extend? 
"Look we have an open data format.  Oh did we forget to mention that we 
place encrypted, copywrighted, data in there too? Sorry our fault, now 
please sign this license agreement..."  Hehe ;-)
