What you're describing sounds an lot like the Registry and Repository services that OASIS (http://www.oasis-open.org) claims to be setting up on XML.org (http://www.xml.org). Biztalk (http://www.biztalk.org) seems to have similar intentions, but I assume that's the 'single company marketing manouver' to which you've referred. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
