Basically, yes. The idea for native XMPP addresses is that people might
want them to look the same as their email addresses. So if your email
address is d'artagnan at example.com then you might want your JID to look
the same. But we can't do that natively in XMPP because single quote is
not allowed in a node identifier, so we need an escaping mechanism,
which is XEP-0106. So a JID of d\27artagnan at example.com would be
presented as d'artagnan at example.com even in a pure XMPP system.
