These can be all the same, because we're talking about IRC protocol. In IRC,
server-names, nicknames, channelnames are all in the same list, and neever
conflict. I mean, the server never allows them to conflict. For example, you
cannot login to an IRC server with a nickname that looks like a server-host (
'waster.test' ), nor a channel name ( '#channel' or '&channel' ). So, I think
this will be the best way:

irc:irc.server.com at irc.jabber.org/nickname
irc:irc.server.com at irc.jabber.org/irc.server.de
irc:irc.server.com at irc.jabber.org/#jabber

But the problem is that, in jabber, we don't have clients support a 'to' attr
in incoming messages (server doesn't/can't send it actually). But in IRC, that
is defined, so when user 'MyIRCNick' sends a message to #channel, the server
sends that message to all clients connected, with from='MyIRCNick' and
to='#channel', but the name of the receiving user isn't shown (speaking 'bout
IRC protocol).
