Yes that was kinda implied, but I can go one step further: There is only one format not tied to a particular engine[1], COLLADA, as that's it's main design goal. However since it's not the most binary efficient format, there are questions about how suitable it is for real-time use.
Sirikata is going ahead with COLLADA and have hired some chair of a COLLADA group to implement, but I am unclear how they've solved those concerns. So, yeah, I am presuming that the author of said proposal (as I myself don't have one on hand) would sort out how to handle both native efficient formats, and portable interchange formats. Cheers, [1] I guess there is VRML/X3D, but they appear to have died for a reason?
