The changes between drafts 11 and 12 are fairly minor, but a diff shows
that a couple of problems have nonetheless crept in.

Page 10, section 8: "An NNTP client" has been changed to "A client NNTP".
This is odd, since all the occurrences of "server NNTP have changed to
"NNTP server". There are still many "client NNTP"s; could they all please
change as well ?

The second paragraph of 8.1, on the next page, is very hard to understand.
Could it be changed to something like:

! An NNTP client that wishes to use extensions to NNTP SHOULD
! query the server early in the session to determine which
! extensions are available. This is done by
  issuing the LIST EXTENSIONS command. An NNTP Server that  
  [...]

?

In 11.3 and 11.4, I thought we'd agreed to drop "UTC" as an alternative,
not add it.

The underlining of the titles in 12.1 has vanished, which I think is a
pity.
