As a plug-in for the wiki Confluence, it works great for adding simple daigrams. Have you looked at “Gliffy”. As a plug-in for the wiki Confluence, it works great for adding simple daigrams.

I have coded up a Sequence diagramming tool in python with outputs of svg and png files. It uses similar etxt constructs for the diagram. It's working code, but needs a little cleanup if interested. I got sidetracked on generating the flowcharts with the similar text-based inputs. If I get a chance to get back to it, I was planning to have a extension in Sphinx to allow for Sequence Diagrams to be easily included.

You can produce it (albeit with a certain amount of complexity) and see it in any text editor you chose. Even better, you can version control it straightforwardly, diff it, grep it, sed it; whatever you can do with ordinary text. These are *huge* in my book, so I'm sincerely surprised to see someone actively want to loose such things. SVG isn't a bad contender, but it does tend to obsure meaning when looking at the text representation, whereas your @startuml example is splendidly concise. Could you elaborate why you dislike ASCII art so? I'm guessing it's due to difficulties in producing it? Why on earth weep at ASCII art’s continued survival?
