But this is probably outweighed by having to use IHAVE... Diablo 
supports a non-standard compression protocol using "MODE COMPRESS",
which I imagine is more likely to be supported by a transit server ;-)

Compared to INN's IHAVE, I don't know.  But it's definitely much slower 
than streaming.  (Perhaps someone should add streaming to nnrpd, and do 
away with innd entirely ;-)

No, rather someone (on ietf-nntp, I think) who was unclear about what 
exactly should be escaped.  Which given the ad-hoc nature of NNTP, means 
there could be a server out there that gets it wrong.  However I've 
never actually seen that in practice.
