Yes I think that makes sense.

So, if a user's client sends a subscription request to a full JID,
should the user's server ignore the resource and send the request to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> instead of <[EMAIL PROTECTED]/resource>? And if
the contact's server receives a subscription request for a full JID,
should it also ignore the resource? I have some text to that effect in
my working copy now (but I think it is MAY, not SHOULD or MUST).
