Yes, some current Netnews software would accept WSP there, though some would only recognize SP. For that reason, the USEFOR document requires SP (possibly followed by further WSP/FWS/CFWS as appropriate). However, it would still be an improvement in interoperability if 2822-bis were to require at least WSP. But again, as I have just said elsewhere in this thread, even if the implementation you mention were rendered technically non-compliant by the change, it would still interoperate correctly with all compliant email agents - just not with some Netnews ones. -- Charles H.
