I'm a bit skeptical of adding a plethora of connection parameters for the
priority of each resource. I think that, if anything, Gabble should use the
'priority' param when Available, and a value between 0 and 'priority' for other
statuses, according to the same scale as other clients.

(Priorities are pretty crap, because if you use two clients with different
scales, you lose unless you go through manually tweaking them all, which no
user should have to do.)

Pidgin uses a priority of 1 for Available, and 0 for everything else. I can't
see any way to change these from the UI, although it's technically possible to
make a custom status with a different priority. A first step might be to change
Gabble's default to 1, and do the same scaling (for very binary values of
"scale") as Pidgin does. What do Gajim, Psi, etc. do?
