True: the /var/lib/dia quoted from me would be 
enterprise/classroom/whatever level, as diagrams can be very specific to 
an entity.

But the best way not quoted here would be to have freedom to integrate
shapes into dia files then display them through svg viewports.

Freedom means : warning, you geopardize retro-compatibility with
previous dia program version, are you sure? (plus an option to not
display the warning anymore).
