"If you know your history, then you would know where you're coming
from." -- Bob Marley

But seriously, for historical reasons we refer to these addresses even
in the XMPP RFCs as "JIDs", so "Jabber-ID" seemed appropriate (on the
model of "List-ID").

Also, since a few people have asked me, it is not "X-Jabber-ID" for a
good reason -- the author of RFC 2822 told me not to use "X-" because
that's evil and broken.
