Valig JIDs are always split into three parts unambiguously. As far as
I thought, XEP-0106 purpose is to allow invalid JIDs to be shown to a
user (hiding real complicated escaped JID). But it seems to fail in
this. So, let this XEP serve another goal - interoperability between
XMPP network and the others.
