It is, however, quite conceivable that someone might want to do this. For
example, suppose that a person runs several different Jabber applications
off the same JID that, for example, perform automated services? You might
only be interested in one of those applications, and not the others.

Mine makes virtually no resource discrimination that I'm aware of. It
associates a full JID with a nickname for the list. Whatever that JID is,
that's what the system looks at. Unless JabberBeans performs in a way of
which I'm not aware, which is quite possible. :)
