when you get into graphics it's hard to insist on text only.

I agree, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics, http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/)
should be the standard for RFC. True, it is not an IETF standard but
it is open (for whatever definition of open you choose).

An alternative is the Graphviz "dot" language
(http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/) which is certainly
much simpler to edit by hand but is not completely open (it is a
proprietary format, although its use is free and there is a free
software implementation).
