Won't happen. It looks as if open standards are on the decline. Especially Apple has proven that you can make big, BIG bucks using extremely closed standards. And now you see that Microsoft and Google are following suit. Whereas open standards are especially beneficial for smaller companies (using open standards is cheap and there's already an ecosystem in place), they are so large and wealthy that they don't need open standards. The simply create their own specs.

The problem of ignorance seems to be larger. People hop from one service to another in the blink of an eye (myspace->facebook, whatsapp -> snapchat, etc.) but don't seem to grasp or don't care about interoperability and how that would be beneficial. I rarely hear from people that they find it strange that they cannot communicate between whatsapp and facebook, or between iMessenger and GTalk even though they use the same base protocol.
