Well, on IRC it presumes you are already in the same channel as someone. If on jabber, you were both in a MUC room, you could send a message to them privately without getting their JID. You can also privately send someone your jid through MUC if you want them to know who you really are.

Also, there is a jabber user directory. This is voluntary to register with, but if you want to facilitate people finding you, register with the JUD.

This is the problem that I have with Jabber in comparison to IRC.

Out of band query to find the username.  Unnecessary in IRC.
