Yep!  :)  Again, see the Wiki page.  Zero has been told by some IRC 
provider that the typical SL usage pattern (many users essentially in 25 
group-chats at all times) would strain their implementation, for instance. 
 This came up in a recent office hours, and I tried to summarize it on the 
Wiki page.

There's a whole (currently empty) section of the Wiki page just waiting 
for a design that does what you say: taking current SL chat and using the 
AD as a relay.  Please don't hesitate to write your ideas there:
