The change could easily be made. I stuck it into Implementation considerations, which seemed even more appropriate, but I can move it if people think that would be better. > I also note that there is a "Restriction on usage" header in the RFC > 4288 template, and it might be useful to say that news-groupinfo and > news-checkgroups were only for use in newsgroup control messages (in > which case the "Intended usage" header should say "LINITED USE"). I don't see a need to limit either to newsgroup control messages. They're both useful outside of that context (news-checkgroups more so, admittedly). However, I don't feel strongly about news-groupinfo; if people think it's sufficiently weird that it doesn't make any sense to use it outside of control messages, I'm willing to make that change. I feel more strongly that news-checkgroups is appropriate in a much wider variety of situations. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
