Diagrams are part of the html output and not considered its own output format.

Since they contain links to html pages they would be broken by just allowing them to be created.

We'll keep this as a feature request and see what the future will bring. Since there are also requests for having additional information in the diagrams. Having them as a more decoupled entity might be a good thing with additional options.
