[JDEV] Negative priority

[Joe Hildebrand]

I don't see the context for this conversation, so I may be missing
something.

Setting your priority to -1 affects ONLY the step in the server where it's
picking what resource to send a message addressed to node at host (no
resource).  -1 resources are not eligible for this default routing.
Messages and iq's addressed to the node at host/resource will still go to that
session, as will presences addressed to node at host and presences addressed to
node at host/resource (where the resource is that of the -1 session).  

I know, the -im draft says that presences MUST NOT be sent, but that was
apparently a mis-copy/paste that will get fixed in the last draft.
