I actually can get some content out of ascii art diagrams. Certainly
more than I could out of a gif or png and more than I would in
practice out of an svg.
I wouldn't mind though if the IETF went away from ascii diagrams
provided that they commit to guaranteeing that the normative text is
complete without the diagrams. No, doing that is not as hard as some
people seem to think.
