I don't know what others say, but I really think there are room for
two. One more basic (in the sense that it does not parse the file) and
a parser (that will hopefully fit the CEDET framework).

In the case of HTML for example we have the basic html-mode and nxml-mode.

There has long been talk of getting Daniel's/Karl's mode into Emacs.
Maybe you can help getting it done?
