Most of those aren't interchange formats. You can use Mecurial or Perforce instead of Git; PDF is the interchange format in TeX's space; Linux is an OS, so I don't even know what you're talking about here; for GHC, you can use ML or C or Python or PHP or whatever instead of Haskell.

HTML is supposed to be an actual standard for interchange of hypertext.

Well there are also other Haskell interpreters and compilers (JHC, UHC, Hugs). Although of course GHC is de facto standard due to it's numerous extensions of the language.
