There is no invite-rules neither message-rules specifications for
XCAP, neither for XDM (OMA additions), just pres-rules. So we would
end implementing a supposed "standard" but always introducing custom
specifications to make it "logical". Then clients should also
implement these custom extra layers of specs in order to interoperate
properly.

When it's required to add custom specifications it means that:

- The core "standard" specifictions are not good or not enough.
- Interoperability will be a pain.

For me SIMPLE/XCAP is dead many months ago.
