That's fine, but a separate project. If the only way we can get interoperability between SIMPLE implentations is using XMPP between them, that feels like a stupid solution to me. I do want to be able to use SIMPLE to communicate with other SIMPLE implementations. I want to be able to use one SIMPLE client from one vendor on my smartphone and share the address book/buddy list and presence ruleset with my other SIMPLE client on the desktop.

That's what customers expect. And that's not where we are today with the IETF specs, and if I parse right, maybe not with the inclusion of the 3rd party OMA specs.
