You're right. And the question is: "How to escape it? Can escaping be
done unambiguously?"

The problem is that if I get alredy escaped JID
user\40jabber.org\2fuser at jabber.org/resource then I can unescape it
and show to a user as user at jabber.org/user at jabber.org/resource.

But what to do if a user enters such a JID into a client entry box and
wants to send a message to it?

Best wishes!
