To add diagrams while taking notes, how about making babel understand SVG?

- It's just text/xml so it can be embedded right in the org document
- The output of executing svg can be the image, which is natively
supported by emacs
- HTML also natively supports embedded svg

Of course you don't want to doodle by hand-writing xml, so the output
image could be made clickable, which would dump the xml to a tmp file,
open inkscape on it, then re-import it when inkscape exits. The export
defaults for babel svg could be that the src is not exported, but the
result output is.
