sure ?

<TEST>

JOIN !!TOTO
:mu1!mu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOIN :!2NUZQTOTO
:ircnet.grolier.net 353 mu1 = !2NUZQTOTO :@mu1 
:ircnet.grolier.net 366 mu1 !2NUZQTOTO :End of NAMES list.

MODE !2NUZQTOTO +a
:ircnet.grolier.net NOTICE !2NUZQTOTO :The anonymous flag is being set on channel !2NUZQTOTO.
:ircnet.grolier.net NOTICE !2NUZQTOTO :Be aware that anonymity on IRC is NOT securely enforced!
:mu1!mu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MODE !2NUZQTOTO +a 

MODE !2NUZQTOTO -a
:ircnet.grolier.net 485 mu1 :You're not the original channel operator

MODE !2NUZQTOTO +r
:mu1!mu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MODE !2NUZQTOTO +r 

</TEST>

the answer from the server to the -a has no sense (because I am the orginal chanop who can +r)

Why is !chan behaviour different from &chan one ???

<TEST>

JOIN &FOO
:mu1!mu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JOIN :&FOO
:ircnet.grolier.net 353 mu1 = &FOO :@mu1 
:ircnet.grolier.net 366 mu1 &FOO :End of NAMES list.

MODE &FOO +a
:ircnet.grolier.net NOTICE &FOO :The anonymous flag is being set on channel &FOO.
:ircnet.grolier.net NOTICE &FOO :Be aware that anonymity on IRC is NOT securely enforced!
:mu1!mu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MODE &FOO +a 

MODE &FOO -a
:mu1!mu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MODE &FOO -a 

</TEST>

Which one is broken ?
