Not a very knowledgeable article. It repeats what has been known for a long time about markup based technology and which reflects what the experienced practitioners said from the beginning of the current generation of markup, XML. Markup was designed precisely to enable this variation and the transform language to cushion the effects of diversity. Without differentiation, there is no competition. Without cooperation, there is no coherence in business processes. These forces can and must co-exist in the same trading space. To assert the environment converges on one or two languages is to misstate the goal and processes of information lifecycles in an evolving environment and to reveal a lack of study of the history of the applications of markup technologies.
