I first produced PDF output, and then used a program called "pdf2svg",
although better might be making a SVG output driver for Ghostscript. (I
think there might be one but doesn't fully work, or something like that.
I don't know if it supports pdfmarks, or what device parameters it has.)

That is a interesting idea, I suppose. I have not done that though.

I also don't know what would be the policies on Wikipedia if you are using
PostScript code to draw the diagram and are then uploading a SVG file and
want to include the PostScript source codes in case someone else will edit
the diagram in this way.
