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. ~TJ
