The most important part of -1 resources are their caps. For example, I can have a calendar app logged in with my own jid, accepting some namespace for calendar updates or meeting requests.

If you're not suggesting this, can I suggest it? :-)

Are you suggesting a sort of negative disco feature which indicates that the XMPP entity is not an IM resource at all? Could this be done with a suitable category/type? Moving forward, this would allow clever clients to observe that it wasn't a IM client capable of handling calendaring requests, but a dumb calendaring bot working on behalf of the user.

  <identity category='automation' type='calendar'/>

So you know that it's not something like this:

  <identity category='client' type='pc'/>
