One idea that Joe Hildebrand and I have been kicking around is for 
messages of type "headline" to be sent to all online resources. This 
would give you forking but only for that message type and not for IQs 
(which are sent to full JIDs). So in order to start a Jingle session 
with me where I'm not in your roster, the flow would be:

1. You send a stanza session negotiation request (XEP-0155) in a message 
of type headline.

2. My server delives it to all of my online resources.

3. I reply from whichever resource I want to use right now.

4. You send a Jingle session-initiate (IQ) to that resource.

/me ponders...
