I'm the one... 
My patch didn't get included for gtk2 port reasons, but It works now.

I looked at 'diax' and it is really java oriented (requires ant, xerces
and xalan) and even oriented on this specific pattern.

curt, you could look at my patch and tell me how to refactorize it
(particularly dia-uml.xsl) to allow direct output to your stylesheet.
Also this means adding a dialog to configure the output, and a mechanism
for properties in my version, which i'm willing to do (and going to
anyway). I think we could get rid of xalan and xerces by the way.

I attached a recent version.
