[jdev] Message Routing

RFC3921, 11.1, Item 3: Else if the JID is of the form
<user at domain/resource> and no available resource matches the full JID,
the recipient's server [...] SHOULD treat the stanza as if it were
addressed to <user at domain> if it is a message stanza.

You mean he has resources with identical priority (not identical
resources). In that case, it's up to the server. You can route it to
all resources with identical priorities. I don't think any server
except Google Talk does this, but it seems to make most sense to me.
In your example, though, even this scheme wouldn't route it to mobile,
since it has a lower priority than 'pc'.
