Sure it's doable. It's not necessarily cxompatible with the RFCs, but
it is doable.
Simply have every request for .space conflate .space.* into one
newsgroup, and have everything posted to it automatically be
crossposted to all subgroups.
Whether it's a good thing or not.. I don't really think so.
One obvious problem is going to be group "lugnet". Not so much to
regulars who know what to do, but to newbies, that hefty chunk of
downloading could put them off altogether.
