That seems quite sensible. Why force the indirection?
This seems to be largely a matter of taste as opposed to good technical reasoning. I don't think there IS a good technical reasoning. Both points have merit.
On the one hand, it's a "good thing" that clients can specify their own so that advanced-ish XMPP users have that extra bit of oomph to utilize (and let's face it, most XMPP users are advanced-ish).
On the other hand, it's a "good thing" that resources are an implementation detail and can be abstracted away from the client.
