Hrm. The News:: namespace is mostly for NNTP stuff. This might cause
some confusion.
Is there any relation between NewsML and the existing XMLNews::*
modules?
Just looking at what's out there at the moment, I'd suggest putting
NewsML under the XML namespace.
XML::NewsML
XML::NITF
(similar to XML::RSS for instance).

Nope, everything currently under News::* is NNTP. The only thing
currently under NNTP is NNTP::Server.
