Currently a lot of transports are available which provide a subdomain and a new XMPP "compatible" jid which is build out of old_protocol_uri@transport_subdomain.
In clients such as Pidgin it is possible to group contacts which have the same physical identy. Similar to the resource system in XMPP, Pidgin offers to fallback on a different technology if the user becomes unavailable on either of the grouped accounts. Given that this fallback is what we actually want to see happening I wonder if any thought has been given on "automatic accountgrouping" or registering a different account as a specific resource of a user. The latter is currently - to my knowledge - not able to be achieved using current XEPs other than having a specific transport 'call in' as Jabber client opposed to being component. Other solutions like proprietary extensions fake client connectivity. I would like to hear some thoughts on the goal of registering transparent accounts, independent of technology. For example: user@domain/pidgin, user@domain/msn, user@domain/sip.
