Have the authors considered any use case for the "unavailable"?

Ah.  Well, there is probably some middle ground that can save us some
presence 
space.

If there is only one resource online, don't send the extension.  If there
are 
more than one, send it.  In the case you described when resource2 comes 
online with the same priority and clients might misunderstand, send the 
primary flag with resource1's presence, _before_ sending resource2's 
presence.

Once all that's done, you have minimal XML for most users who don't even
know 
what a resource is, but still have trivial rules for clients to figure out 
who is the primary resource.
