I agree -- although schedule may be an issue.  The transformation to the
text format for input into the flowcharting app would probably be similar to
the task of transforming to the "flowchart primitives".  I may go with the
flowcharting app solution for the first deadline, then perhaps switch to a
pure SVG approach.

Done a fair amount of looking around, but more focused on flowcharting apps
that accept text as an input.  Next week I'll do more specific searches in
support of a pure SVG approach.  And I'll look for replies to this post of
course!
