Note that all those implementations are based on OMA/RCS specs,
something more "elaborated" than the IETF RFC's about SIMPLE and XCAP
(too much wide specs, not strict at all).

Yes, but I'm sure that all those vendors will make their devices to
work with a specific XCAP server and presence server, most probably
interoperability between different devices sharing the same SIP
account adn XCAP resources will never happen (as SIMPLE/XCAP doesn't
define a *definitive* and *strict* XML format).

Idem. It's just an illusion. "Implementing XCAP" doesn't mean being
interoperable.

Sure. However SIP over TCP/TLS is already specificied. Adding this
sane constrain to a new SIP based presence specification would be
acceptable IMHO.
