How to grant viewing privileges of database diagrams to a user?

This is a biting question that I just bumped into today, it turns out MS has not supplied with established mechanisms to support distributing viewing privileges for database diagrams at least for SQL 2005 or 2008. According to BOL:

"Although any user with access to a database can create a diagram once it
has been created, the only users who can see it are the diagram's creator and
any member of the db_owner role."
