3.2.6  Distribution

   The Distribution header specifies geographic or organizational limits
   on an article's propagation.

   distribution    =  "Distribution:" SP distribution-list CRLF

   dist-list       =  [FWS] dist-name *( "," [FWS] dist-name ) [FWS]

   dist-name       =  ALPHA / DIGIT
            *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "_" )
   The <dist-name>s "world" and "local" are predefined.  However,
   "world" SHOULD NOT be used explicitly, since it is the default when
   the Distribution header is absent entirely.

   "All" MUST NOT be used as a <dist-name>. <dist-name>s SHOULD contain
   at least three characters, except when they are two-letter country
   names as in [ISO.3166.1988]. <dist-name>s are case-insensitive (i.e.
   "US", "Us", "uS", and "us" all specify the same distribution).
