The reasons given to use a well-known resource can be solved

You omit the reason the resource name carries an information. When
I see
someone connected with resource 'mobile', I know I should not spam
him
with large messages.
IMHO, you should use caps for that.
That's the proper way to solve it. Use an identity client/phone or
client/handheld.
Then you will need caps containing any string to show to user, since
resource can carry any information.
name attribute of the identity?
What exactly do you want to pass along?
I might want to send a message to
specific computer out of the connected ones.
See above. The name attribute can contain the description that the
user chooses.
From XEP-0030:
"... and MAY possess a 'name' attribute specifying a natural-language
name for the entity."
Please complain about the lack of i8n on another thread ;)
I might want to know which
resource I run commands on (let's say with my own account but
different
resource, to disconnect it from MUC or so).
See above.
I'm not saying that talking to a specific resource is not important or
useful, I'm just saying that using the resource to name connections is
wrong and we have better *standard* ways to do it.
