    The group proposed for creation is named on the Newsgroups header, never alt.config.

    You don't have a Newsgroups file line, which means it won't be created
    on News sites that maintain their active files with the example active
    file at ftp.isc.org.

    For obvious reasons, there's no alt.text.rss hierarchy because this is
    Usenet and not RSS. There's no alt.text hierarchy because Usenet is text
    only unless it's in a binaries hierarchy.

    Everything about this is stupid.

    But you've done just enough to get an archived newgroup message. Too bad
    you couldn't be bothered to do anything right.

    Too late to do it better.

    Thank you for pointing out my errors Adam. Will do better in the future.

    You will get comments on a draft proposal if you ask in alt.config. If
    you send the newgroup message but didn't seek comment, then there's no
    way to head off the errors and it's archived for all time.
