I came upon one more ambiguity in the "same JID, different hash/color"
domain
First, what I already mentioned, is case: The JID must be mapped to a
consistent case; I would suggest lower.
Second, the hash also depends on the Normalization Form applied. I
would suggest NFC, which is recommended anyway for XML.
It would be great if that could also be specified (or at least
referenced) in the XEP.
