All geek questions in one place

Is there a semi-standard way to associate a URL with an IRC user?

I am involved in identity consolidation, so I provide URLs to me in different places on the Internet. I am very active in IRC, so this naturally makes me wonder if there is a way to provide a link to my IRC presence.

This leads me to a search at http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt , which appears to be an RFC project for linking URLs to IRC, which suggests that I will be

IRC: //irc.freenode.net/DRMacIver,isnick

Which seems a bit on the lame side. In addition, this RFC project expired very much (February 28, 1997). On the other hand, this seems to be implemented in chatzilla at least:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/rt-messaging/chatzilla/irc-urls.html

So does anyone know if there is a substitute RFC and / or any other de facto standard for this?

I have been an IRC user for many years, and I have never heard of any standards that will allow you to do this (other than the RFC that you talked about).

I have always found IRC a very difficult place to track users, as it is a simple task to set up a bouncer and easily change your identifier.
