CMS interoperability?

Good overview of Content Management System (CMS) interoperability, a problem that will continue to grow as the number of CMSs increases. The author notes, "there still needs to be a common standard for the information itself, if meaningful interoperability is to be achieved. It is here that the difficulties arise, due to the lack of any consensus standards in this area." Quite right, and this is the one area of online learning standards development that has puzzled me - where have IMS, SCORM and the others been on a specification for learning objects themselves? David Wiley has referred me a couple of times to Connexions, which does support a Connexions Markup Language - but no authoring tool (I have been playing with the site this past week - they explain to me that the online editing tool is only available for published content, which means you can use the authoring tool only after you have authored the object... d'oh).
