Attachments: Account.Service can be used to store the IRC network name

Description Cosimo Alfarano 2012-01-12 09:26:00 UTC 
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.

"<tt>IRC</tt>" should be "<tt>irc</tt>" (if you mean the Telepathy protocol name) or "IRC" (if you mean Internet Relay Chat). Use whichever is consistent with how we refer to XMPP.

Other than that, ++

We use mostly XMPP so I kept IRC. Merged to master. thanks
