Makes sense to me.  And in general I fall on the configurability side of
the debate over pure standard implementation vs. highly customizeable
software, although I think INN has suffered from having a few too many odd
corners tacked on and needs some cleaning up in that department.

RFC 1036 on that score is actually pretty accurate.  Basically, From,
Date, Newsgroups, Subject, Message-ID, and Path.
