OMEMO is based on ideas from the protocol used by Signal Messenger. Signal Messenger is based on ideas from OTR. Learning about OTR is the easiest way to understand the basic concepts behind the others because everyone just refers to the OTR writeup either explicitly or implicitly . So this new writeup is still potentially valuable.
The ideas:
* Forward secrecy for messaging.
* Deniability through forgeablility.
