It is since you cannot uniquely separate the JID into its node+domain+resource parts.
You cannot tell which the node part is. In my example
User JID: mats at home.se/coci at home.se/mats at home.se/coci
the node part may be: mats\40home.se\2fcoci\40home.se\2fmats
The problem is escaping both the "@" and "/" and be able to uniquely identify the
node+domain+resource parts of a JID. I think you can allow to escape either
of these characters but not both.
