Oh, and while we're at it: It would also make sense to have some status
based priority. I think most users will be even happier with that than
broadcasting. The idea is to have a standard which status should mean
which priority by default. That way, a user will always get messages to
the resource where he is available.

Examples:
DND       = 10
N/A       = 20
Away      = 30
Available = 40
Chatty    = 50

This way, the user will automagically get it to the right resource. If
two clients are online and active, he will get it to both. If he got
auto-away at one, he will only get it to the resource that's still
available. Gajim for example does it like this and this has always been
doing what I wanted when I was using multiple machines.
