For generating you only need to understand one mode. Of course there
is still the problem of knowing which mode the other tools understand,
and DNG may be useful in that respect. Concerning it's "digital
negative" claim, I have read that it may contain vendor-specific data
relevant for interpreting the result (such as lens correction data),
so it's not clear that it is really better than proprietary raw
formats; OTOH, a classical negative does not contain lens data etc. at
all.
