The definition of whether a connection is between two peers or between
a client and a server is currently handled by an access control list
mechanism INDEPENDENT of the protocol.
A key issue which may not be apparent here is that UNLIKE mail, ftp,
and other such connectivity, news connections are BY ARRANGEMENT.
As such, many peer-to-peer issues are not protocol issues.
