Initializing nodes on a diagram [message #195679]

Hi there,

I would like to create certain nodes on my diagram at initialization time.
So, when the user right clicks and does 'initialize diagram file' to
create a new diagram, certain nodes are already included. Eg, instead of
this file being generated:

<DiagramNode/>

I would like:

<DiagramNode><Foo/><Bar/></DiagramNode>

But this is _before_ anything is added to the model by the user. I realize
I could use 'ghost nodes' in the edit commands for Create, but checking
for the existence of this structure each time a create command is executed
seems like overkill. Is there a better place I could put the
initialization commands?
