folks,

  lately, we've been deluged by articles with unparsable dates.
  examples include:

	Sun, 13 Sep 92 06:50:57 CET
	3 Oct 92 08:53:09 GMT+1
	2 Oct 92 18:13:07 UT

  i think getdate() is just barfing on the timezones.  (are GMT+1 and
  UT legal timezones?)

  we're still running B news.

	o what would be *the* document that documents legal headers? 
	  rfc 1036 still?

	o should we get our act together and upgrade to C news?  does
	  C news fix the timezone problem?  (what other advantages to C
	  news are there?  is it worth our trouble?)

	o other
