I might as well; if I'm going to end up doing something here then it might as
well support them both as I could picture ending up using either one.  For the
most part, though, my first glance through the RFCs left me with the
impression that 'nntp' and 'news' were primarily synonymous with each other;
do correct me if there was something more obvious that I missed.  I'll check
again, but at this point don't forsee big issues in supporting both.
