Should the newsgroups themselves be renamed?  I don't know nntp, 
or what the implications of that are - presumably that breaks 
everyone's reader and so not worth the trouble since only 
experienced people will read the groups that way, and so just the 
web alias changes, which is I think what you suggested.
