The Stomp+JMS bindings page http://stomp.codehaus.org/Stomp+JMS has a 
implementation recommendation for durable subscribers (more ore less 
implemented in this way in other brokers):

quote:
"
If you wish to create a durable topic subscriber you will need to do the 
following

*    set the client-id header on the CONNECT to a globally unique String 
for the Stomp connection
*    set the durable-subscriber-name header on the SUBSCRIBE command.

The combination of the client-id and durable-subscriber-name uniquely 
identifies the durable topic subscription. i.e. after you restart your 
program and re-subscribe, the Broker will know which messages you need 
that were published while you were away"

For compatibility of Stomp client implementations, RabbitMQ could 
implement it following this specification.
