I do not agree. JIDs are constructed well and thoughtfully.

But you are suggesting to make it inconsistent instead. More on that later.

How is disco'ing "server.net/service" different form discoing "server.net"?

JIDs are not hierarchical. And putting "/" character in resource will
not make them so. ;-)

The RFC says that the resource is a property of bare JID.
In this case we are talking about bare JID of "user at server.net" and
its resource "muc/room".
Your proposal is to create a special case with different than normal semantics.
This is not a good idea IMO.
