David, are you telling me that we are bound by the most restrictive
set of standards network-wide that any one transport forces on us?

That's not reasonable. The reasonable approach is to do a trivial
encapsulation or encoding that makes it possible to move USENET
articles (no matter what their characteristics are) through BITNET,
or any other strange network.
