It changes as Exodus becomes more "correct" with jid handling. Version 0.8.x was
just wrong to allow spaces :) They are explicitly not allowed in jids (check the
XMPP RFCs on xmpp.org). 0.9.1 is now doing case folding which means if you enter
"PGM", it will turn it into "pgm". This is also the right thing to do according
to the XMPP RFCs.
