I proposed this idea and this kind of gateway because it won't harm IRC users and will enable jabber users to connect to a certain network. The operators of some IRC network would just have to allow this new transport to connect to their other servers via IRC S2S protocol and that's it. Though of course there is still the possibility that the IRC people with their little egos won't like that. ;) Tobias
