I can assure you that any business will not use multiple protocols unless their interface is the same for all of them. There simply isn't enough business to have very many systems.
While this is certainly true for remailers at the present, it is not true for businesses in general. Most of the stores I deal with locally will accept cash, checks or credit cards. The interface (and accounting) for these is quite different.
