I agree that there is probably not many general news-mail gateways
around, but there are a lot of specific mail-news/news-mail gateways,
and many of them involve constituencies where non-ascii newsgroup names
may become relevant. The new USEFOR scheme should cater for standard 
gatewaying for all these individual cases.

Indeed, and where the constituency knows it has a need for non-ascii
newsgroup names it will make sure that whoever does the gatewaying does
the proper conversions. Usefor will indeed make it clear what those proper
conversions are.

But other constituencies which do not have those particular needs should
be able to carry on with their existing gateways until such time as they
find the problem is pressing.
