So far it's fine...

...but that's one of the things I'd not say in a standard, even
if it's true.  Let's say "may" ... "accept such articles", not
more.  Obviously there's an implicit "maybe not" (= reject),
don't talk about it, and there's also a very hidden implicit
"how they accept it is their business" (= modify), but don't
say it, it's out of scope.

Yes, I like it better than the old terse text, but please don't
mention "modify", that's the private horror show of those who
try to pull this stunt (e.g. mail2news gateways, news servers
fixing the magic SP, etc.)
