A simple and natural design !  I guess we will have to consider adding 
new tags
to the XML sheet descriptors to have the information to build that tree.
Eg.
<category>network</category>
<subcategory>cisco</subcategory>

My concern was only for the UI level. When working on diagram mixing 
many sheets
it is cumbersome to constantly switch between them. So my idea here is 
to have another
view in which you could open only the few sheets you are currently 
working with.

Maybe this could be done using a tabbed pane: a tab with the global tree 
view
and another one with the few working sheets (the last would not 
necessary have to
be a treeview and would be diagram-contextual)
