For most implementations you would still connect to your own servers, again having a more native socket format would be a HUGE improvement as you would be able to implement stuff like IMAP, IRC, SQL, etc directly in flash w/o messing around with a translation layer. I for one would be the first to start a open source flash IRC project if we had native sockets.
Regarding external services, Im quite positive that freenode ect could be convinced to add a policy xml file on there servers that would allow you to connect directly using a flash client.
