Some servers allow you to send messages 'from' any resource (as long
as the bare jid matches your authenticated jid).  This seems to be
very implementation specific though.

You would need to create one connection per room though, where as a
component would used a single connection for the entire domain. (but
it sounds like you'd like to load components dynamically (which
servers like jabberd2 support, btw)
