It reminds me of a letter published once by Computer Weekly from an IT manager saying that if everybody just stopped messing around with all these other systems and used Windows and Office, life would be so much simpler.

It might be worth reading Umberto Eco's book The search for the perfect language which describes the attempts over many years to invent or rediscover a perfect language which would replace all those messy ones that make communication so difficult. All, of course, ended in failure.
