IRC is just a protocol, just like email, there's nothing precluding better clients. In fact Grove.io ("Hosted IRC and so much more.") offers many of the features you listed.
Whether you market it as "IRC++" (like Grove), or "HipChat with IRC support", is another question, but I'd love a service that had a great IRC (and maybe XMPP) interface, plus all of those features.
