In another thread on bit.admin, I proposed to gateway the INSOFT-L
Internationalization of Software mailing list to network news.  The
documentation that I am following for this process implied that I could
easily use a name in another hierarchy, but I have since discovered that
it isn't so easy.  Instead of

	bit.listserv.insoft-l

I had wanted

	comp.software.international


I chose this second name because the subscribers to INSOFT-L who
responded to my proposal to gateway the mailing list to network news
overwhelming preferred a more descriptive name than bit.listserv.insoft-l.

I must agree with them that the newsgroup names in the bit.* hierarchy
are the most undescriptive in network news.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Jim McIntosh, I am proposing that the
naming conventions in the bit.* hierarchy be made more "flexible" to
match the descriptiveness of newgroup names in every other hierarchy of
network news.
