Good!  At least I've seemed to begin a little discussion about the future
of notesfiles.  I never said it wasn't promising, just that we decided
that its deficiencies (as we see it) outweighed its usefullness.  It 
seems as if maybe I haven't made one of my previous points clearly enough.
The biggest problem I see with notesfiles for the future is its A-news
interface.  Think of what notesfiles was/could be like if B-news sites 
stripped off the '#' line that allows grouping to really work.  Well,
when the mythical news 2.11 comes in with its alleged article grouping,
I imagine that it will rely totally on the "References: " header line
that newsinput will strip and newsoutput will not generate.  As I see,
it will soon be mandatory for notesfiles to keep the header info so that
it can co-exist peacefully with news 2.11, and, thus, will require a 
B-news interface (and your notesfiles info could also go into a header,
thus not bothering/inviting questions about "- (nf)".

By the way, we were running the latest release of notesfiles, v 1.3,
I believe that was released in the spring.
