Comment (by jd49):
If we use 3 textboxes, we can easily find out what slashes (in the
ressource) and what @ signs (in the username) need to be escaped. If we
use one text box, we'll have problems with JIDs like
"abc at example.com/abcd at example.net/abcde".
If we use 3 different rows, people will try to put their whole JID in the
user box or put their server address in the Domain box.
I think use case #2500 is very rare. I know that XMPP @ characters in
JIDs. Therefore, XMPP implematations should support it.[[BR]]
Nevertehless, I think JIDs like abc at example.com@example.net/abcd should
not be used since they are very confusing. If users who have such JIDs are
confused, it's the JID which is confusing, not the GUI.
