I used Prosody (XMPP Server), with a custom module. The whole site is built around XMPP multi-user chat. Front-end is primarily Backbone/Strophe(xmpp library)/Jquery.

1-5) Yea, lot of little stuff I'm gonna need to handle.

6) Since there can be many people in the room, skipping, rearranging, repeating, looping, all of these things are going to have to be voted on.

Lastly, I think it may well be a failure on my part, but the title bar # indicates messages received while you are tabbed away from the window. I detected this by checking to see if the chat input box was in focus (from my understanding that's how gtalk does it). It's clunky, and I should probably figure out a better way to do this.

Thank you for your feedback :)

Also, I've made the Javascript code available on my github (Since I need to find a job): https://github.com/ahaque/lh

There's a chat input box? Are you sure?

Firefox 3.6 shows no such thing.

Ya, just checked 3.6. Might be a knock against the design, but its the gray box, across the bottom of the right column/side.
