First you have to find a standard that covers all the possible content you create: PDF, presentations, spreadsheets, word processing, images, project schedules, e-mail, archives, etc. Yes and no. It doesn't need to be a single standard for all content, simply a list of acceptable standards by content type. XML is an interesting option, but as you say, not really a full answer since it doesn't really address layout issues. While one can arrive at presentation through XSL, without a comprehensive DTD for the XML and a standardized transformation ... i.e., re-inventing SGML, one doesn't really have a solution yet.
