Well, it's interesting, on the ejabberd list today someone said they
have an existing database of 45k email users and they want to offer
Jabber services to that user population, but re-use the same usernames.
I'm sure they have some users in there with addresses containing
characters like single quote, e.g., tim.o'[EMAIL PROTECTED] In which
case I bet that they'll be interested in using JID Escaping.

I really feel that this discussion is not going anywhere. The spec is
IMHO pretty clear. If you don't like the spec, don't implement it.
