Description Alejandro Colomar 2022-03-24 11:43:03 UTC 
uri(7)::DESCRIPTION::Usage::news reads as:

```
       news - Newsgroup or News message

       news:newsgroup-name
       news:message-id

       A newsgroup-name is a period-delimited hierarchical name,
       such as "comp.infosystems.www.misc".  If <newsgroup-name>
       is "*" (as in <news:*>), it is  used  to  refer  to  "all
       available     news     groups".      An     example    is
       <news:comp.lang.ada>.

       A  message-id  corresponds  to  the  Message-ID  of  IETF
       RFC 1036,  <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1036.txt>  without
       the  enclosing  "<"  and   ">";   it   takes   the   form
       unique@full_domain_name.   A  message  identifier  may be
       distinguished from a news group name by the  presence  of
       the "@" character.
```

It refers to an obsolete RFC[1].  We should update the info there.
