So, a full unsecaped JID (with resource) can't be split unambiguously.
Then I'm afraid we should do something with the XEP.

There is another problem here. If the user receives message from
user\40jabber.org\2fuser at jabber.org/resource I can't unescape JID
because he will not know if the message came from user at jabber.org.
Using two entry boxes is not good IMHO. It breaks the idea of JID -
the only user identifier in XMPP world.
