Not following.
Clients could have an integrated calendaring app, allowing both chat
and calendaring traffic to happen to the same full jid.
Alternately, it may only do one or the other.
Yes, but then you would only need to publish the proper <feature>.
What makes a automated system try a certain protocol is the feature,
not the identity. The identity automation/calender (per Peter example)
is only needed to mark a resource as a non-IM resource.
So a clever Calendar application that also allows chat would probably
still announce itself with a client/pc but would also set <feature> to
support cal-dav-over-xmpp, or whatever.
