[Juser] Equal priority - what happens?

[Phil Reynolds]

What actually happens if you have two clients (with different resources,
of course) logged in at the same priority and a message comes in
directed at no particular resource? (assuming this situation is allowed
in the first place)

From RFC3921, page 86:

The short answer is: it depends on which server software is running at
the IM service you're connected to (e.g., Google Talk delivers to all
resources, but other services make a guess about the best resource based
on things like last connection time, last presence change, availability
status, and the like).

The long answer is in RFC 3921, as someone posted to the list.

The server gets to decide where to route it.
