Without commenting on the specific case [I haven't looked at the details] the thrust is that however good a single XML solution developed in isolation is, we must have interoperability if it's going to be universally used over the wire. That sometimes happens with single solutions - but often we have multiple ones. Then the problem has simply shifted from syntax to semantics. P.
