I am a little uncomfortable with the word "evidence" here: I have been told of a set of problems by users in a multi-vendor environment, and by some other users of different tools. And Gregor has mentioned his issue. But I think we need some more people providing concrete examples before we can say much more than "some combinations of some tools have some problems for some people with some schemas" (which isn't saying very much at all.) Logically it looks like there is a problem, but is there one in fact? For example, if multi-vendor SOA enviroments are rare, then these incompatabilities may not matter. But if there are in fact key incompatibilities by accident or design, then safe practise needs to be figured out and publicized, and the market needs to provide disincentives for incomplete support of schemas.
