             Bug #: 44730
           Summary: Account.Service property can store the network name
                    for IRC protocol
    Classification: Unclassified

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

As decided on #telepathy, empathy will start use Account.Service to specify the
IRC network name (e.g., "oftc" "freenode") for its accounts.

This is mostly used by the logger to understand what network the IRC nick
refers to, since nor the account path (one can use the same nick for multiple
networks) neither the server (dns alias, proxies) are usable.

I think it's important to add this use case for the IRC protocol to the spec,
as it is for the jabber protocol.
