I feel like i understand the reasoning behind not Having proxychat, i think that could be overwhelming.
BUT what if im on My way to search a mysterious cave, or something , and another player appears in My game, wouldnt it be useful if There was an emoticon that was a gesture for like a headset or a phone or something. That way you can easily ask someone to join chat, without invading with a request. Maybe this would be a bit over the top, but it feels like a friendly start of a chat.
Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but leave a comment of your opinions or suggestions :)

Also i think the pad on the dualshock should be used for some emoticon, i want dance as much as any other gamer, but lets face it it's not that useful ;)
