He's not advocating a common interface for all languages at the level
where Emacs interacts with the external process. He's only advocating
a common interface at the Elisp level so that the major mode only needs
to adapt this interface to the underlying external process's own
interface (or to the Elisp code that does the parsing if it's
implemented in Elisp).
