Comment (by jesboat):

 Replying to [comment:6 chemistrydioxide]:
 > 1) Allowing the server to choose the ressource makes sense, but only if
 all servers are obliged to support this.

 Quoth RFC3920 ch7, "A server that supports resource binding MUST be able
 to generate a resource identifier on behalf of a client. A resource
 identifier generated by the server MUST be unique for that <node at domain>."

 and, in practice, at least one server (ejabberd) supports it, so we're
 probably safe.
