Spot on, Phil! The commoditization of cloud storage in its simplest flavor (vanilla, as you so brilliantly point out) - before the industry has even settled on standards dooms this effort to failure from the get go!
Steve Lesem talks about some of this on his blog at cloudstoragestrategy as well: http://cloudstoragestrategy.com/2010/07/is-open-stack-off-the-rack.html
His points echo your views... Cheers, and keep fighting for those programmable APIs!
