I'm using MagicDraw and they use XSL to generate their reports. I'm customizing it for our company.
I believe it is custom XML.

Hello Brian
You're building UML diagrams, yeh? My I ask with what tool? What format is
your diagram coordinate data being saved in? SVG? PGML? custom xml? I ask
because I'm currently working on an xslt for pgml to svg (btw if anyone else
has done similar I'd love to hear from you!) for www.argouml.org
thanks
Dennis

As you see in the code, right now I'm printing what lastDiagramType is
changed to, for debug purposes, and it never changes. It stays "LAST" as I
default set it, but it is hitting that code.
