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.
