Show me a de-facto standard in federated social networking and I shall become 
its advocate here and now.

Again, show me such a de facto standard, please. And until you do, I will 
voice my opinion we need interoperability. I don't really care if it's 
interoperability between *instances* or *implementations* as long as it is a 
(de facto) standard and without a doubt (by a huge margin) *most* of the libre 
people using this kind of technology use this particular protocol/standard.
