The existence of IETF drafts for the IRC protocol was
announced here a few months ago.  The drafts are available
from the usual locations (for such documents), the following
URL will take you there faster:

The drafts are now final (as of this past monday).

what's most needed here are coders, if you're up to it, feel
free to start digging the code and helping us to move
forward (in particular towards 2.11).
