Though a freeform text field is probably better for humans, I'd
suggest having more explicit data available as an option, ie:
<irc network=3D"irc.freenode.org" channel=3D"#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 ).
