The only XML "standards" that I am aware of are the Recommendations issued by the W3C
(none of which are proprietary).
Industry-specific vocabularies are not "standards", although they are usually promoted as such.
Edd Dumbill's recent post summed it up best:
"I'd have been amused to see how this writer would have talked about
ASCII: 'But they're all writing their own sentences, just how they want!
It's all too confusing.' "
