Personally no matter what is added Id like to see a few things happen.
The RFC updated.
The general IRC coder's population get together. Make things a bit more centralized.
I guess "organized" sounds better than "centralized" when we speak of an inherently-decentralized medium.
Anyway, that's exactly the point. Suppose you have an idea, let's say, client-server data compression. IRC traffic is very redundant, so it can be compressed very efficiently on the client side. The server would not do any decompression, it would simply pass the compressed data further. This should decrease both the client-server and server-server bandwidth usage. Maybe this particular idea is not worthy, but it's just an example anyway.
So there should be some board or committee to discuss your idea and plan its implementation; client and server improvements should be synchronized. Unfortunately IRC is very much mIRC-centered, and the pace of mIRC development is well-known in itself.
