You haven't said what you want an implementation of. I just installed
Sketch, I was impressed, very nice. But I don't do that kind of
drawing. If I want a formal sort of diagram, I use a markup language
like PSTricks (in LaTeX), or Metapost.
Metapost rewritten to produce SVG, that would be nice. And rewritten
so that its input language was XML
