VSDX = “OPC/XML drawing” – looks like my new preferred diagramming exchange format. It is at least OOXML-flavoured:
Draw.io is able to import and export diagrams as VSDX.

Draw.io is able to import and export diagrams as VSDX (Microsoft Visio’s OOXML-flavoured exchange format for drawings):

Update 2018-04-17:
I like the diagrams I created using draw.io.
The intention was to export them as VSDX, but in the end Visio does not display them as intended. Very, very bad!

your ODF file (“.odt”, “.ods”, …) and its “modified” timestamp
- https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XML_-_Managing_Data_Exchange/OpenOffice.org_%26_OpenDocument_Format

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLStarlet
Your “.odt” (or “.ods”) file is a ZIP file with a meta.xml inside:
$ unzip -l YOUR.ods … … meta.xml …
This is a convenient way to extract meta.xml to STDOUT:
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml …
This is how to get the XML reformatted using xmlstartlet:
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml fo
This command line shows you the possible XPath expressions:
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml el … office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:date …
How to extract “modified” to STDOUT?
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml sel --template --value-of office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:date
And how to extract the timestamp w/o anything but decimal digits?
$ unzip -p YOUR.ods meta.xml | xml sel --template --value-of office:document-meta/office:meta/dc:date | tr -d ':TZ-' | perl -pe 's/^(.*)..*$/$1/'

your OOXML file (“.docx”, “.xlsx”, “.vsdx”, …) and its “modified” timestamp

VSDX does not get listed as an OOXML conform file format, but for this purpose (here) we can treat it like one.
Your “.docx” (or “.xlsx”) file is a ZIP file with a docProps/core.xml inside:
$ unzip -l YOUR.docx … … docProps/core.xml …
This is a convenient way to extract docProps/core.xml to STDOUT:
$ unzip -p YOUR.docx docProps/core.xml …
This is how to get the XML reformatted using xmlstartlet:
$ unzip -p YOUR.docx docProps/core.xml | xml fo
This command line shows you the possible XPath expressions:
$ unzip -p YOUR.docx docProps/core.xml | xml el … cp:coreProperties/dcterms:modified …
How to extract “modified” to STDOUT?
$ unzip -p YOUR.docx docProps/core.xml | xml sel --template --value-of cp:coreProperties/dcterms:modified
And how to extract the timestamp w/o anything but decimal digits?
$ unzip -p YOUR.docx docProps/core.xml | xml sel --template --value-ofcp:coreProperties/dcterms:modified | tr -d ':TZ-'
