It feels silly replying to myself, but... Some possibilities are:
- mxgraph - this is the basis for draw.io, which has a GUI, &c. A GUI is not strictly necessary, but would be handy for some things - free - JointJS - Seems to support the usual diagram types, including BPMN free - yEd - I really like the layout options, being able to import SVG nodes. It is free for any use, but if the underlying libraries (yFiles) are to be used, they have commercial licencing.. The trick is finding someone with the chops to be able to integrate something like one of these, then stick around to update from time to time. I get the impression that most people are not really interested in diagrams to sit alongside the notes in a tiddler. The closest thing so far is viz and railroad, which are both rather limited.
