Is it really the case that the only new stuff in the NNTP protocol
is Brian's original ideas?  If so, that is a big mistake.
	-Syntax of "search" command is not good, or did we decide
	 to leave it out?
	-I don't think we ever really reached consensus on the
	 authentication, or did we?
	-I really REALLY want a "mode" command -- I have software
	 in beta-test that could use this right now (see the
	  archives, around April 20)
	-Elliot asked about flushing the "batch" command.  Are we?
	 Or what about Brian's suggestions of May 1?
	-What about "438 offer me this one later"?

We must resolve these issues before we can say we're done.
