I don't think it is unreasonable to suggest that chartering a new
WG today that competes directly with SIMPLE would be taken by many to mean
that the IETF still has not arrived at a workable solution (and no doubt
some proponents of XMPP feel that to be the case).
I think the single step most useful to stem this perception is to get the
CPIM documents out the door and published, have at least one IM-transport
protocol publish its interface to CPIM, and having running code that proves
that the resulting functionality is in fact useful.
Pair of facts beats house of prediction.
