Ohhh, stop, and think a bit!
As in old ICQ Transport!, messages are routed to the highest priority
resource!
This is the same as main jabber philosophy. When somebody sends message to
user at jabber.org, then message is routed to the user's resource with highest
priority! And I think this is the best method.

PS: In my client I have implemented forwarding of waiting messages from
clients when new higher priority resource connects.
