In the event of a failed user ID check, well behaved homeservers MUST:
- Rewrite user IDs in the offending events to be punycode with an additional ``@``
prefix **before** delivering them to clients. There are no guarantees for
consistency between homeserver ID checking implementations. As a result, user
IDs MUST be sent in their *original* form over federation. This can be done in
a stateless manner as the punycode form has no information loss.

referring to as the HS will not necessarily understand the rewritten alias.

- Additional key: Informational key on the event attached by HS to say "unsafe
ID". Problem: clients can just ignore it, and since it will appear only very
rarely, easy to forget when implementing clients.

``@Bob:domain.com``. It is up to ``domain.com`` to map ``Bob`` to ``bob`` in
a sensible way.
