New description:

 INN recognizes LIST keywords not mentioned in CAPABILITIES.
 They should be documented in an Internet-Draft.

     * LIST DISTRIBUTIONS
     * LIST MODERATORS
     * LIST MOTD
     * LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS (with a wildmat)

     * Define the meaning of some other status fields of LIST ACTIVE:
         * j   No posting allowed, incoming articles filed into junk
         * x   No posting allowed, remote postings rejected
         * =*  Group aliasing

     The meaning of a junk newsgroup will have to be described.

     How could we advertise these new status fields?  (EXTENDED-STATUS,
 with a version number, as a new capability?)
