If everyone used XML for their formatting
Huh? Have you used XML? XML has very, very little to do with formatting (I suppose it depends on your implementation) and everything to do with document structure. As long as users just clickey-clickey their bold & italics, bump indents with a button, and make headlines with font changes rather than use a style consistently, this is a problem that XML won't solve. Even a 'save as XML' option. To say XML is the panacea is to not understand the problem. Even a tight XML DTD can be implemented crappily.
