Hi,

Other typos:

In 4.3:
    The content of the application/news-groupinfo body part is defined as:

It is application/news-checkgroups!


In both 4.3 and 5.2.1.1, could it be said that in the examples, spaces
are used in newsgroups descriptions but that they are in fact tabs?


In 5.2.3, as for a checkgroups control message:

    It requests a news server update its valid newsgroup list for that hierarchy
    to include the groups specified, remove any groups not specified, and update
    group descriptions to match those given in the checkgroups control message.

Could it be said "and update group descriptions as well as moderation status to match
those..."?


In 5.3:

    The cancel control message requests that a target article be withdrawn
    from circulation and access.

In order to be consistent with the previous paragraphs, "that" should not be added
here after "requests" :)
The same goes in 5.4 for the Supersedes: header field and 5.5 for sendme.  Whence maybe
"that" should be added in 5.2.1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 instead?  (It is a very minor remark.)


By the way, why does "Supersedes" always begin with a capital?
When we do not speak about the header, it should be a lower-case letter shouldn't it?
For instance in 3.4, "which cancels or Supersedes another article".


In 6.1:

    Cancel control messages are not required to have the same Newsgroups
    header field as the messages they are cancelling and, since they are
    sometimes processed before the original message is received, it may not
    be possible to check that they do.

"to check what they do"?  "to check that"?
