Which standardized object model has been as successful as the standardized syntax of XML? Standardized data models on the other hand...

Hi all,
Maybe 5 years to late, but I never really understood the argument about why
a standardized syntax is better than a standardized object model. It sounds
right, but I can't explain why.
Imagine XML like a standardized object model of various node types, with no
rules whatsoever about the serialization format. Why would such a standard
have less chance to survive?
Also, imagine XML like a standardized object model PLUS a standardized
syntax. Why would such a standard have less chance to survive?
