I don't know where the documentation is, but simply in tinkering with
dia files you'll see that it is indeed a compressed xml file.
In the save dialog if you uncheck the compress option you'll get an html
file out of it.

Where is the info describing the dia format?
It is the same as a shape?
It would be nice, the shape being the same thing as a diagram.
Cheers.

I agree, but does anybody knows if exists any std format for
diagrams?
I believe that if you would try to define a standard for diagrams
that wouldn't be too complex and would have enough functionality to
build any diagram you would eventually end up with SVG ;-).
SVG is a vector illustration format, not a structured diagram format.
You might end up with something that uses SVG for the drawing bits,
but then has a layer on top that defines connection points, logical
behaviour etc.
I think you can do all that with SVG (though it probably wouldn't look
very nice and would probably have to extend SVG a bit as Inkscape does).
But what I really wanted to say is what Diego Jacobi said - I believe
there are simply to many possible kinds of diagrams to have a usable
standard. By standard I mean something that is fairly constant which
again I believe isn't possible for diagrams. But maybe all new things
are done by people that didn't know they were impossible when they did
it ;). So I'm keeping my fingers crossed - maybe Dia's XML could become
close to a standard some day.
