I had understood your `way #3', or a modification thereof, to be
the proposed method for handling the fa -> mod mapping.  The
modification is that rather than sending each article to a Usenet
moderator who then forwards to the ARPA list, in some (many?) cases
the `Usenet moderator' listed in the moderators file would actually
be the ARPAnet moderator.  This, of course, cannot be done without
crossing the Usenet -> ARPAnet barrier automatically, and that is
officially frowned upon; yet it has a rather nice `feel' to it, if
you take my meaning.

In any case, I think that the only thing the fa -> mod conversion
will do is make submission from Usenet sites easier.  (Whether this
is a good thing is perhaps debatable.  :-) )
