Yes, but in USEAGE, not USEFOR. Or do you really want such a rule in USEFOR?
I don't think any protocol issues arise.
I now have, in USEAGE,
0.0.0.1. Followup-To
A Followup-To-header SHOULD NOT be included if it just duplicates the
Newsgroups-header. At least one of its newsgroup-names SHOULD exist
on the posting agent's host (since a well behaved poster ought not to
be setting followups to a place that he cannot read). Cf. a similar
rule regarding crossposting in [USEFOR] section 5.5.
Is that OK?
