The Google Talk service sends messages to all XMPP resources; this is
allowed by RFC 6120 and RFC 6121 but is not the traditional approach.

The primary reason why an XMPP server needs to be aware of the
presence state of the accounts registered at the service is so that it
can respond to presence probes. RFC 6121 describes this in great detail.
