I'm not sure I follow your line of thought concerning "IRC presuming you
are already in the same channel". I know that in any (compliant) IRC
client, all I have to do is connect to the server, do a /list to see all
of the channels or do a /whois <nick> to find someone.
I have yet to find either such feature for Jabber in Trillian or Gaim.
Am I missing something? It seems that with Jabber, you just "have to
know" and it's not going to help you find it.

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.
