[JDEV] What about the resource?

Hi again,

I'm running into a problem with the resource part of a Jabber ID.

example:
I have two items in my roster. user at server/home and user at server/work
Should I treat these as seperate contacts in my client? Or should I ignore
the resource and show only one person?
I think the Jabber protocol says they are two (seperate) individuals but
JabberCOM seems to store only one item in it's internal roster (eg.
user at server/home, while user at server/work is dumped by JabberCOM).
This is terribly confusing!
Is it a bug in JabberCOM?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Sebastiaan
