You are wrong. See http://www.xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3921.html#rules:
  "For message stanzas, the server SHOULD deliver the stanza to the 
   highest-priority available resource..."
The jabber servers I use do respect the spec in this regard, only highest 
priority clients will receive the message. 

I have several devices with jabber clients and priority support would make 
life so much easier. I'm including my thoughts from the duplicate here:
---
Example situation: user has laptop, tablet and phone. he would like their
priorities to be in this order, from high to low:
 * laptop available
 * tablet available
 * phone available
 * laptop away
 * tablet away
 * phone away
This would be trivial to setup if the applications allowed changing  priorities
(see Psi for an example), but just hard-coded settings (see Pidgin for an
example) would be fine too if chosen wisely.
