Len Malczynski opines that SMILE and XMILE formats will not be realized 
owing to software firms competing for our business.

Assuming that markets are as rationale as our economist friends say, if 
the market asks for a common document format, the software publishers 
will deliver. Additionally, I would argue that once a common format is 
established we would have even better software to choose from, since all 
the time formerly spent on file formats would now be spent on features 
and workability.
