Description
**Describe the bug**
Disco items query results in something like:
```xml
```
Normalized JID localparts are lowercased, so these stand out a bit.
Attempting to query Gitter rooms results in:
```xml
Room could not be found
```
Other rooms listed with uppercase in the address appear to be reachable.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the disco items and info queries for the listed Gitter rooms, then trace how their normalized JIDs are handled. The fix is complete when Gitter rooms whose addresses contain uppercase characters can be queried successfully, while existing room queries continue to work.
