Utterly agreed, but loads of steps just in creating a language machines can act on, derived from human languages, just right off the bat. To give another comparison to the planet from which I come (and I come in peace! I swear) - publishing metadata is standardized into an XML format called ONIX. However, the term "ONIX" has come to mean, over 12-14 years or so, "metadata about books". So publishing houses who transmit their metadata in Excel (yes) and ASCII still refer to the files as ONIX, even though they are not in XML. A format has become an expression for the information inside that format. I see striking parallels in this discussion of RDF and Linked Data.
