Yes, since version 0.8 (October 2nd) Chat Session Negotiation specifies 
a new "continue" field that enables the transfer of sessions to a 
different resource (see Section 2.3 Switching Resources).

There are currently very few implementations of XEP-0155. But I hope 
that will change once it becomes a Draft standard (perhaps at the end of 
this month).

IMHO we need to encourage more implementations because XEP-0155 is a big 
step towards implementing end-to-end encrypted sessions (XEP-0116 
ESessions).
