MIMI: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mimi/about/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mimi/about/ (More Instant Messaging Interoperability)

  > MLS is agnostic to the identity system used within any given messaging service; it provides confidentiality of sessions once the participants in a conversation have been identified. To achieve interoperable messaging, the MIMI working group will specify how one or more identity building block technologies (for example, X.509 certificates or Verifiable Credentials) can be used to establish end-to-end cryptographic identity across messaging services, assuming the use of MLS for key establishment. Indeed MLS alone is nowhere near good enough to make systems interoperate. Here's to hoping MIMI takes significantly less of a fraction of a decade to get built that MLS took (5 years since chartered, 3 years after initial due dates).
