VML     Vector Markup Language

Introduction to VML
VML (vector markup language) is the technology that allows developers to draw directly onto an HTML page as if it were a GDI canvas. The syntax is made up of 2 parts: markup and code.

VML - A lost graphical markup language
The advantage of VML was that since Word had inherent support for it, we can generally copy and paste a vml diagram from a web page and then paste it into a word document. The problem with SVG is that Adobe who supports the viewing plugin, has it's custom mechanisms to deal with it and since it is not compatible with inherent windows applications, the usage of it is very limited to the web alone.
