Isn't #channel%ircserver at irctransport the complete jid?

Therefore, you mean the server already sends the view and it should be the
client that should register the full jid, like if you join two channels with
the same name on different servers.

available?

Ah, I guess it's a Gabber-specific problem.  Gabber doesn't ask you for
the server name when doing the 'Enter' on the IRC transport.

Looks like IRC is on its way back as a 'supported' Jabber service.
