This. Relying on a third party to do the conversion as a service from some proprietary format seems tremendously wasteful, insecure, etc. (all the things you mentioned).

It's extremely rare that once a diagram is done, it will be updated very often... maybe one updates a diagram 10-20 times max during the whole life of a standards project (~5 years). So I would personally throw this into the "would be nice... someday after we finish the actual spec" pile.
