NNTP Capability Labels

Registration Procedure(s)

             Labels beginning with X are reserved for private use.
 All others: Standards Track RFC or an IESG-approved experimental protocol.


Reference
        [RFC 3977]

Note

 All capability labels in the registry MUST consist only of US-ASCII
 letters, digits, and the characters dot (".") and dash ("-"), and
 MUST begin with a letter other than X.  They MUST be at least
 three characters.
