Yes Bnews has bugs. no doubt about it.

My point is that blindly relying on the rfc is not good. blindly
relying on a particular piece of code is  not good.

If you discover a case that the RFC doesnt fully handle or that
differs from the bnews code, ASK someone what the intent was.  Dont
go your own way.
