(For the record, draft-02 had mvgroup. There have
been some wording changes.)
draft-05 wording for single mvgroup is at
http://mibsoftware.com/userkt/usefor/05/0112.htm
(and from there, links to draft-04, which also has
links to previous wordings.)

I expressed an opinion earlier, mostly along the lines of
you can't move articles around. It breaks one of the
fundamental assumptions of NNTP: that you can address
an article by (newsgroup,number)
If by the "simplified proposal" you mean mvgroup = newgroup + rmgroup
with no article moving, then yes, that seems much better to me.
I think that the multiple mvgroup feature is unnecessary.
Someone contemplating mvgroup should not get the idea that
this is easy and well supported. I'd rather see a couple
of extra mvgroup messages go through.
