In my opinion it is dangerous to try to make MIKEY-SAKKE and OMEMO compatible to one another/unite them. If I remember correctly, MIKEY-SAKKE has "master-key" capabilities (which might of course be a valid use case for enterprises) allowing a third (administrative) party to get access to messages. We should not try to work such functionality into OMEMO, because once OMEMO has such a feature, it'll be only a matter of time untill the next "anti-terror" law demands that feature to be activated for everyone by default. So as annoying as it is to have two competing standards, I think it is the way to go.
