#5565: Should XMPP resource default to the local machine's hostname?

 Priority:  minor   |   Milestone:       
Component:  XMPP    |     Version:  2.4.1

 It's non-obvious to people who aren't familiar with XMPP that if they use
 a different resource in each place, they can sign on to XMPP accounts from
 multiple locations.  The resource defaults to "Home"; thus, out of the box
 they can't do this.

 Perhaps the resource should default to the local machine's hostname, or
 something else which might actually be different between a user's work and
 home machines?
