NNTP status

It's been a long time since I've mentioned NNTP standardization here, but I'm pleased to report that all four of our documents (the base standard plus the streaming, authentication, and SSL extensions) are now in author's 48 hours. This is the final review stage before publication as RFCs, intended for the document editor to take a last pass over the edited work and make sure that nothing went awry. We have a small number of last minute changes, and then the RFCs should be out.

While in theory it's only supposed to last a couple of days, in practice author's 48 usually lasts a couple of weeks. But soon, we will have concrete documents. Then I just have to find time to update INN accordingly.
