What would you quote as a real world use of the resource name that
appears in the JID..?
Lets say, as an example,
From one machine, I login as : [EMAIL PROTECTED]/Resource1.
Simultaneously I login in another machine as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Resource2.
The 2 JIDs differ only by the Resource names..
What is special about the resource names that we cannot accomplish
just
by having a unique bare jid for both users (instead of the users/
clients
differing only by resource name)
Well, this XEP requires two clients connected via the same bare JID:

It's used as an authentication mechanism to make sure that it's
actually the same person. The Adium plugin I recently published is
also using that idea:
