The tracks may be independent, but there is much overlap of the people riding on them and a reasonable amount of communication between the trains. I'm personally torn between wanting to see all this rationalized and centralized and wanting to make sure that the space of possible APIs for XML is thoroughly explored before statis sets in. I guess I'd lean toward the later ... encourage innovation, let the marketplace of ideas sort out the relative value of various ideas, let the various groups cross-fertilize each other, and hope and pray that someone will come along later and rationalize the whole mess.
