[jdev] Real world uses of a Resource Name in a JID

I don't think I understand the question. Every person only has one JID
(typically acquired through registration). You don't want to register
for a new jid each time you want to log in from another place, do you?

Do you have a different e-mail address for every location you want to
send mail from?
