There are some exceptions of sites which have subsites with a channel for each. A {IRC, XMPP} channel is "an official chat medium aiming to serve as an official {support, development, contact} means". For example, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Themes irc://irc.mozilla.org/themedev - discussion of theme development for Mozilla platform http://www.ubuntu.com/* irc://irc.ubuntu.com/ - official support channel for the distro the w3c network for individual sections of website - channels for development collaboration and meetings &c I think a protocol attribute might be redundant as it is a part of the URL. It may be worth noting that every part of the note I originally sent is possible to look up and you can try finding proper way to phrase things (I have no experience in writing documentation of this sort). --Gryllida.
