I don't see how XEPs are relevant to IMAP or Lemonade or email in general.
Also, the JSF is not an IETF working group, so it's wrong to imply that this is a left-hand/right-hand thing - it's more in the realm of liaison between different standards organizations.
You specifically mention streaming media. The Lemonade extension simply allows an IMAP client to create a self-authenticating IMAP URL to a media atachment. This URL can then be passed to a streaming server so that the client can display the media online without downloading it. The documented protocol for doing this uses SIP, but there's no reason you couldn't write a XEP for the XMPP equivalent.

I see no duplicated work here.
