[jdev] Escaping JID using XEP-0106

[Matthias Wimmer]

Hi Sergei!

Ah okay ... it seems I start understanding what you are trying to do.
You want to map a JID (or something like that) into another JID, e.g.
for building the infamous Jabber-Jabber transport.

You will always only handle escaped JIDs when splitting the JID.

If you do unescape the JID, you should do this to get back the mapped
address.

E.g. if you unescape "foo\40bar at jabber.org" you do not get back
"foo at bar" and not "foo at bar@jabber.org".

Compare this with the escaping in XML:

If you map "<element>this is XML</element>" in an XHTML document you get:

<p>&lt;element&gt;this is XML&lt;/element&gt;</p>

You will also only be able to unescape the content of the <p/> element
without creating a mess. If you would just unescape everything you would
get <p><element>this is XML</element></p> and with that also no XML
parser could understand what of this is your XHTML and what is your XML
document you wrapped.
