But the problem that we have then is that a 1.0 server, which will only
receive escaped JIDs, stores those (escaped) 1.1 JIDs in the 1.0 contacts
roster as escaped JIDs (because he doesn't even know they are escaped
JIDs!).

That means that after migration (1.0 server upgrades software to a 1.1
capable one) those JIDs are still in their escaped form in the roster.
And because there doesn't happen any escaping between 1.1 servers our
recently upgraded 1.0 server has broken rosters.

I'd say that this just means that when migrating from a 1.0 server to a 1.1 server, that you have to convert the roster as it is stored on the server.

This is something the server implementation has to handle. E.g. by flagging rosters that are created on the 1.1 software are that have already been converted. Whenever the software reads a roster without this flag, it knows it has to convert the roster first.

Sorry, but I don't see the problem. Some sort of the same logic is also needed for converting account names from a 1.0 server on upgrade to a 1.1 server.
