Have you seen the way that Unisys wrote the XMI exporter for Rational
Rose. It puts the graphical data in the extensions sections of the file.
As the information for Presentation objects (geometry, fonts etc) is
already in XMI there is very little Unisys sepcific stuff.

If that DTD can be used then we would be able to exchange XMI models
directly with Rose.
