I actually used a sequence diagram today. I put it together for a meeting, to provide some visual guidance while descussing the architecture of a component, and the expected inputs and outputs of it. Helpful for aligning expectations and to spark more dialog.

I also use hierarchy diagrams, but a lot less often. Those are used for documenting the architecure of classes that can be annoying to navigate their code through.

As of today, you are right. However, we should be aiming towards a future where amateurs don't have to worry about browser incompatibilities. Coding time to be focused on building the product and its features, not juggling css rules to make it look the same across browsers.

IIRC asymmetric decryption is time consuming, so it is used as the initial step to send/receive the symetric DH key. All additional encryption/decryption is symetric.
