For me, it is too early to answer. I'm just trying to assemble information about how we ended up where we are with all these organizations working with SIMPLE, not contributing back and leaving the IETF with huge gaps and a set of specs that seems uncomplete and not focused on developers being able to produce running interoperable code. 

I have no insights in the politics at that time, so I have no insight into why OMA produced all these documents without trying to feed them back to the IETF.

My opinion on OMA cooperation is that if we can kick off work in this group to complete and/or correct IETF simple into an interoperable state for buddy lists and Xcap, and we see a need for using OMA documents within the IETF we can revisit your question and produce an answer. 

Any other opinions?
