which look as if they're copied from some EFF presentation. I've recreated them as svg. Svg being a fairly standard vector markup, I supposed that it would be more amenable to automatic string replacement than a png (I'm not sure what wml is). Please look them over and give me feedback. If they are ultimately found acceptable, you are welcome to use them for the site. Thanks.
I think they look great. :)
But something has always bothered me with these diagrams: they make it look like Tor relays are run on everyone's computer. With Justin's revision, it looks like they are run on laptops. The vast majority of Tor relays are run on stable servers and most of the traffic flows through high capacity servers, hosted in datacenters behind high capacity links. So I think picturing a laptop might be misleading?
Whilst we're on that topic, labelling the final link from the exit node to the destination as "unencrypted" is unnecessarily scary as well Perhaps we could reword it to "encrypted if destination service is encrypted" and the other links to "always-encrypted".
