Well one approach would be to simply write a spec for using MIME as an archive format for HTML and associated documents as has been supported in Internet Explorer for a decade. MHT is a very simple format that uses IETF standards in a very obvious way. We could probably get Firefox to add support just by asking. Another approach would be to use vector graphics markup which is XML for the diagrams. Another would be to simply stick with the ASCII art.
