Hmm, I just noticed that NNTPv2 isn't a valid extension label per the 
latest grammar since extension-label is defined to be 3*12UPPER.  We'll 
either have to come up with a new label or relax the grammar.  Since I 
originally suggested NNTPv2, I'm in favor or relaxing the grammar and 
perhaps making extension-label 3*12A-CHAR.  Is there a reason why this 
wasn't done in the first place?
