That looks great I think I'll get a bit of doc envy ;-)

I don't think there's any reasonable way to generate such figures from
comments, maybe for simple ones some ascii art might work out. But
converting that to svg for the docbook seems to be an unsovled problem
(I've only found some hacks), so I think we need to manually pull
those into the docbook still. But excellent point for consideration.
