Dia shapes and complex SVG

[David Nedrow <dnedrow usa net>]

Has anyone tried using a dedicated vector editing tool like Adobe Illustrator
to create the Dia shape?

I'd like to be able to export an Illustrator file to SVG and use that for the
shape file in Dia. I know I would at least have to wrap the svg directives in
the <shape> tags. Does anybody know if this is possible?

I'm including an example of a simple shape exported from Illustrator. It's
just a 2-dimensional box with blue lines and no fill.
