No, but we might have net.trans.auto, etc...

The problem is that many of these groups were installed before we made the
committment to subgrouping, and we haven't really figured out a usable way
of renaming them. What we HAVE tried to do, though, is set up new groups to
fit in properly with the new naming scheme so we don't need to change it
again later. The most appropriate place for a group like this would be
'net.nlang.india' (not 'net.nlang.asia-- much to broad a base), not
net.india. This isn't a vote for or against net.nlang.india (although I am
not sure there is a lot of need for it, really) just an attempt at an
explanation of the overall naming scheme for groups on the net. We've been
working, on and off, on a document that we could use to officially put
together the naming space of the net, but it is being done by a bunch of
volunteers who simply haven't had time to finish it. sigh.
