Compatibility with Visio 2003

I realize that Graffle advertises compatibility with Visio XML 2002. I am
trying work with someone who uses Visio 2003, and we are having a lot of
trouble: objects that are editable on one side are not on the other, curved
lines losing their shape, bogus line feeds appear at the end of labels
(Visio -> Graffle), etc.

My Visio friend claims that there is no switch he can throw in Visio to
revert to XML version 2002.

I note in this group that others seem to be having more success. Is the 2003
version of Visio the source of most my problems? Should I ask my friend to
buy Visio 2002? (I'll probably have to buy it for him.)

A question for Omni: Will Graffle Pro support Visio 2003 soon? I note that
the 3.1 beta seems to do better than 3.0.4, which in turn seems better than
3.0.2, so this issue is clearly being worked.

Thanks,

Tom Burton
