Looking over draft-jevans-phishing-xml, I'd say the overlap in use cases 
is small.  We should probably call out that an abuse feedback report 
with a Feedback-Type of  "phishing" may in some circumstances serve the 
same purpose as a PhishingReport with a PhishType of "email", but the 
structure, requirements, and implied purpose of each format differ widely.

I could see the two standards working in concert in a scenario such as 
when a bunch of end users click "report phishing" button in their MUA, 
which causes abuse feedback reports to be generated and sent to the 
Message Sender's ISP; these individual reports are also aggregated into 
a PhishingReport that is distributed to all of the different groups 
which track phishing.
