Having information loss seems like the easiest solution. It's not that relevant that it works in JSON. I imagine it would mostly be useful to specialized spiders that can then generate alternate views of the data. E.g. merge #html-wg, #whatwg, and #webapps. Or give back chatlogs from various channels for a specific timeframe, etc. Basically enough added data to IRC chatlogs around the Web so that you can create mashups. Basically for this to work #values needs a change one way or another. itemvaluetype could work, but it is very ugly :-) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
