first of all: "hello dia-list" :)

I am new to this list and Dia (it seems very powerful so far). My current
project is to make a diagram consisting of a simple network (boxes with
links between them, to keep it simple). 

I will need to parse the output in some way (coordinates of boxes, what
boxes are linked), and thought i could read it from the saved fileformat.
Now, I'm using 0.41 (rpm packaged), and the NEWS file states (0.30):
* The fileformat changed from my own binary format to an easily readable
  XML format.
..but it doesn't look very readable to me (binary rather). Maybe it's just
because I don't know XML very well (I thought it would be like html, just
a bit more tags :)

Parsing the .eps output isn't really something I want to do either..

I wonder if you have any solutions to this (I realise that this is
probably not what the program was designed for); if you have suggestions
to other programs (X11 preferably) that do what i want, it would be
equally helpful.
