We are importing only versions 6 and 11, it means created by Visio 2000 
-> Visio 2010. It should be possible to support earlier versions at a 
certain point of time, nevertheless, nobody of us has a Visio version 
that generated the version 5 diagrams. We did not want to enter into an 
exercise of wild guessing at this point of time. There is still 
something to improve in the supported versions, that cover 10+ years of 
Visio :)

I would not mind to have those files in a private mail so that I can 
check them and see whether some of them are not legitimate files that 
don't pass our type-detection.
