I wonder if it's feasible to integrate or impudently copy DrawTiming (http://drawtiming.sourceforge.net). Their syntax is sexy and rather simple - like in PlantUML - and it would make a range of diagrams have the same style.

Yes, this is possible. However, since DrawTiming is written in C++, a full integration in PlantUML is not possible.
It means that people would have to download the DrawTiming executable on their machine to be able to use DrawTiming diagrams.
PlantUML will (transparently) launch this executable and get the result back.
Would this be ok for you ?

Nice tip on DrawTiming. The functional syntax is much better and simple than a "bitmap" syntax like timing-gen[1][2] (xfig based) or WaveDrom[3] (JavaScript/SVG). However, there's no new release of DrawTiming since 4 years ago, and some basic features like instant slew are missing.

I'm wondering whether somebody has already done timing diagrams with graphviz? Are the building blocks there? After all, a timing diagram is nothing but a sequence diagram with reversed axes of the lifelines. Does anyone have experience with timing diagrams from UML spec?

Timing diagram has been implemented on newer versions of PlantUML!
