Though a freeform text field is probably better for humans, I'd suggest having more explicit data available as an option, ie: <irc network="irc.freenode.org" channel="#gentoo-guis">Channel #gentoo-guis on the freenode network</irc> This way you can put more behaviour on the display side in whatever UA is processing the XML, for example, you could easily add support for some GUI portage tool to add an "IRC" button on relevant packages being displayed, that opens the IRC channel listed in the users chosen IRC client ( as configured in the GUI's preferences ). -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA NOcomil.ic\\@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );"
