This got me thinking that UML diagrams of the Dia code would be pretty
cool documentation.

[Like as if anyone ever design the complete system in UML in advance!  my
lecturer let the cat out of the bag that most projects he had known
generated the UML aftet the fact and used it largely as documentation, but
still comparing it to even a partial original design would be useful, or
it would help future restructuring.]

Has anyone ever run autodia on Dia itself?

Granted it might not look pretty without significant layout work but it
might be interesting and form both a useful example to work from and serve
as documentation.
