The reasons for some of the service discovery identities are lost in the
mists of time. From the XMPP perspective the "conference/irc" type is
probably better described as "gateway/irc", because IRC simply is a text
conferencing technology. And a text chat room that simultaneously
functions as a MUC room and an interface to an IRC channel should
probably have two identities: "conference/text" and "gateway/irc".

The XMPP Registrar would be happy to update the registrations if
requested. :)
