a) It's not MIME, it's URI. URIs and MIME media types are wildly
different and orthogonal things - URIs do not always resolve or refer
to objects with a MIME type, as your three suggestions show.
b) Two of those are things you invented - URI scheme names are
standardised.
c) An irc scheme, if registered, would probably look more like
irc://[nickname@]/server/url-encoded-channel - or possibly
irc:[nickname@]url-encoded-network-name/url-encoded-channel
