I'm not 100% sure if it works since I've never tested it personally, but in Psi you can go to the Misc section in the account settings and use the "Authenticate as" area to set a specific username (authcid).
I just tried it, and it works, at least using SASL PLAIN. It's good to know that there's at least one IM client that understands this.
Now the question is what to do about the market-share-leading IM clients that do not have this level of intelligence. Support for Pidgin and Trillian has been mandated for this project, and I can't find any similar option in either of them. As a practical matter, if you give either of these clients the authentication username instead of the actual XMPP node, they will log in and appear to work just fine; but they will display the wrong JID to the user.
Maybe the best that can be done is have the server detect this situation during resource binding and send a warning message to the user explaining that their client is displaying the wrong JID.
