A closer analogy: someone has invented several new VHS formats, all 
slightly incompatible with each other, so a VHS player is no longer 
enough for playing a VHS video - you have to have the /right kind/ of 
VHS player. We really should have stuck with one single meaning for VHS. 
If we want new formats, that's fine, but why not call them something 
else, such as DVD or BluRay?
