The chat panel should be split off into a Chat API so that it can be used separately by other modules. The chat panel is responsible for communicating with the chat engine. The communication protocol should be standardized to allow multiple engines to be used.

Panel should be able to function without JavaScript. Code can be borrowed from the Chat Block module and the Chat Box module.

Also should support multiple input formats. Code for this can be borrowed from the comment module. In fact, the input form should basically be a comment form which is submitted with JavaScript when available.
