I’d like to build a large diagram and be able to place my paragraphs inside unusual background shapes.

Many programs only enable “text boxes”; perhaps `<text/>` in `.svg` is running on a box model also.  
Could a plugin be made to realign text, perhaps using a group of `<text/>` nodes,  
adhering on boundaries of a chosen `<path/>` passed to the plugin?
