[IRCServices Coding] Fw: [Coders] RFCs and nicknames (Re: NS LINK and NS SET PRIVATE)

[Andrew Church]

     Yeah, I checked the other supported servers and noticed that they
all support such nicks too... and to be honest I'm in full agreement with
Stskeeps that that part of the RFC (among others) is out of date; I just
wish there was something more up to date that everyone could agree on.
(Is this where someone jumps in and says "if you want to get something
done, do it yourself"?)
