I was just having a discussion with Peter and it seems that we may be getting 
our terminology wrong.  With a transport, you cannot say "barejid=fulljid", 
because the transports (at least the ones you are referring to in that 
statement) don't have full JIDs at all.  What you mean to say is 
"barejid=jid".  "Full JID" is more of a boolean.

JID: stpeter at jabber.org/Home
Bare JID: stpeter at jabber.org
Full JID: true

JID: stpeter at jabber.org
Bare JID: stpeter at jabber.org
Full JID: false

JID: jabber.org
Bare JID: jabber.org (?)
Full JID: false

If you simply want a term for "untruncated JID", your answer is "JID".
