Which reminds me, I started on defining an XML representation of dot
files and wrote a PerlSAX handler that writes out real .dot files.
Very useful for generating graphs with XSLT.
I added lexical scoping for default attributes, but subgraphs need some
more thinking.
Contact me if anyone's interested, I may even rewrite it in Java to make
it useful for a larger number of people.
Example:
<digraph id="graph0">
<graph_attr center="1">
<node id="node01" color="red"/>
<node_attr shape="box">
<node id="node02"/>
</node_attr>
<edge_attr dir="both">
<edge from="node01" to="node03"/>
</edge_attr>
<edge from="node01" to="node02"/>
</graph_attr>
</digraph>
