But you're likely to be running your own extension anyway to talk to  
these things, so you could make your XMPP client handle the routing  
in other ways than try to break the 1:1 relationship between  
connections and resources.

For instance, XEP-0030 encapsulates individually addressable objects  
within a client perfectly well without introducing multiple resources  
on a single connection.
