I've encountered SAUCE, long since; but the page is right. I've personally never directly encountered XBIN, and it does seem that it did not take off as predicted.
The world does not seem to have managed to do for text (art image) files what TIFF did for graphics files. Although https://16colo.rs/ , recently on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44665816) seems to be getting by on just SAUCE plus FILE_ID.DIZ.
I would have quipped that someone has yet to have the idea of using JSON instead of these directly-machine-readable binary formats. But the DurDraw developers have indeed done that very thing.

See https://github.com/ansilove/ansilove#features , for one example of what we have instead. (-:
