  I think this is really great.  I think it would get

 there was a java interface. 
IRC is a protocol, which allows anyone to choose their own client.  I'd
much rather use a client of my choosing (and under my control) than use
a website where I have to use whatever chat interface has been decided.

 anyone know a good open source answer? 
Linux.com, which participates in the OPN, has a page with links to
various clients that can be used.  They also link to a page where they
run a Java client to IRC.
