ietf-nntp Thoughts on renaming X commands

[Stan Barber]

If we document it as XOVER and XPAT, then what is the purpose of having
the "X" command mechanism for non-standard extensions? There is absolutely
no reason why an implementor can't have XOVER and XPAT in a server
that complies with the draft as written.

If you are saying that we need to do this so that all the existing 
implementations can claim compliance, then I have to speculate about 
the purpose of the doing this work in the first place.
