Any extensible XML architecture can be complicated and it is a trade off for flexibility and power. We are still are using the xCBL 3.0 which uses the Commerce One based SOX schema (which to my understanding was largely adopted to create the WSDL standard - much more robust than DTDs) We do produce xCBL 3.0 based catalogs. This is headed towards becoming the UBL specification which should make it an even more compelling "standard" than it is today. We are often shipping catalogs back and forth between suppliers and more often between marketplaces and in the long run this will provide the most flexibility in my opinion. I don't think this requires any more technology or complications than any other extensible WSDL like XML, though, it is certainly not simple.
