And likewise for Format A, so Company X must also be involved just because 
I want to work with Company Y. Or at the very least I must change 
my processing to add the appropriate AF incantations whilst processing 
both formats.

This is what I'm trying to narrow in on.

I'm wondering whether AFs is a solution aimed at streamlining the creation 
of vertical XML vocabularies (one doesn't necessarily have to, you define 
an architectural DTD for everyones existing formats), rather than a means 
to facilitate working with multiple vocabularies. Transforms seems a better 
approach in that use case.
