Actually, presence notifications should be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and not 
a particular resource because presence notifications should be broadcast 
to all resources currently connected. Messages should go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
and then be distributed to the resource with highest priority.

Also, transports should rebroadcast presence information to 
newly-connecting resources so that the presence of all roster items is 
known. The aim transport does not do this, the icqv7t and msn both do to 
my knowledge.
