Now that I think about it, should this even be allowed?  It seems this 
complicates things.  For instance, Psi, Rhymbox, and many other clients 
prompt the user for his JID instead of the usual user/host combination.  I 
think it would be quite confusing for the user to input one JID but end up 
with another.  Is this a UI flaw?
