I think Ascii diagrams do make sense if the Blueprint is a major architecture input and will be long lived through many Os cycles, if it's a small short feature and the diagram is useful to describe the architecture then I think its overly painful, speaking from experience!

After some additional discussion on this topic on IRC, I really think we should start by requiring diagrams in ASCII and see if that becomes overly painful.
