It'd be nice to have a JID.equalsFriendly(JID) method
that compares the username and server but not the resource.

Interesting. A different name (equalsUserHost) probably
would be in order - the 'Friendly' name is a throwback to
older transports which stored all login information in the
Jabber ID of the service
(aim.jabber.org/registered?username=whoever&password=whatever
would have a 'friendly name' of aim.jabber.org/registered)

I would use "equalsUser" since markpasc@jabber.org and
markpasc@jabber.com are different users (with the same
username). And yeah, I took 'Friendly' from the 15 May 2000
"Jabber Identifiers" document.
