Fine, but with for example, Protobuf, you share a .proto file and so there's zero percentage chance of this happening.

No, with Protobuf, I send my counterparts a .proto file, and they 1) Don't know what the hell to do with it, not just because they don't know Protobuf but because 2) it wasn't included in the docs/dictionaries from the standards organization that set this all up in the first place.
