As far as chat channels go, I find it important for at least, /say, /shout, and /emote to be IC in public environments!
These are the three channels that affect the game directly surrounding the player, and it's important to have those IC when interacting with other players!
And these are all the channels needed for roleplaying! Plus they are the ones that affect immersion the most!
The other channels could all be OOC or at the player's discretion, including /world in my opinion!
That would make it easy enough for anyone to filter out the channels that are OOC, and at the same time there are plenty of alternatives to have OOC chat too if so desired, e.g. /tell, /fellowships
