Actually I am not sure the IRC scheme has ever been officially approved, whatever that would mean, perhaps I'm mistaken.
I think the closest it's come is an IETF draft that expired two and a half years ago. I was referring to the URI RFC when I said '#' is reserved. The IRC draft makes an exception to that rule.
