Can the DOT file importer be modified to allow reading position attributes in .dot files?

I have some dot files that I have produced with my own layout algorithms, and while gephi reads them just fine, it ignores the positions of the nodes. Some of the other graph formats allow reading position attributes, and it would be useful if the DOT importer could do this too. From a quick look at the code, it should be a straightforward enough matter of reading the 'pos' attribute (ImporterDOT.java), relevant details on the dot format are here:

Is this planned at some stage? Is anyone working on it?

regards...
