   Good intentions...   
      
   I see no problem with a looser implementation provided doing so does   
   not break something else.  I would say that shoving fidonet messages   
   into NNTP is bound to break something anyway.   
      
   I haven't read the RFCs cover to cover and probaly won't ever do so.   
   I'll only read the parts that are relevant to what I am trying to get   
   working and then test a suite of readers against it.  Call it a 'best   
   effort'.
