SIMPLE is currently (2003) IETF work in progress, taking place in the simple workgroup (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/simple-charter). Some parts have been standardized, e.g. RFC 3428 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3428.txt). Other parts, in particular IM sessions, are still under discussion. However, several implementations are already available, notably including the Microsoft Windows Messenger.
SIMPLE is not the only IM protocol being developed within the IETF. XMPP, based on the Jabber technology, is a contender.
