No, from an author's (that is, *my*) perspective, that's the situation
we have today, and it's horrible.  If we have Format 1 and Format 2,
but neither is interoperably supported, then it's still a giant hassle
to deal with, one that I probably don't even want to bother with if I
can avoid it.

Multiple formats are fine, as long as they each have reasonably full
interop.  Anything else is absolutely useless and not worth the time
speccing/implementing.
