3.1.  Principal Changes

     o The [RFC 2822] conventions for parenthesis-enclosed comments in
       headers are supported.
     o Whitespace is permitted in Newsgroups headers, permitting folding
       of such headers. Indeed, all news headers can now be folded.
     o An enhanced syntax for the Path header enables the injection
       point of and the route taken by an article to be determined with
       certainty.
     o Netnews is firmly established as an 8bit medium.
     o Large parts of MIME are recognised as an integral part of
       Netnews.
     o The charset for headers is always UTF-8. This will, inter alia,
       permit newsgroup-names with non-ASCII characters.
     o There is a new Control command 'mvgroup' to facilitate moving a
       group to a different place (name) in a hierarchy.
     o There are several new headers defined, such as Injector-Info and
       Author-Ids, leading to increased functionality.
     o There are numerous other small changes, clarifications and
       enhancements.
[Doubtless many other changes should be listed, but there is little
point in doing so until our text is nearing completion. The above gives
the flavour of what should be said. There should also be references to
Appendix A.3 and Appendix A.4 ]
