Source of RFC: IETF - NON WORKING GROUP
Area Assignment: app

Section 4 says:

newsURL         = "news:" [ server "/" ] ( article / newsgroups )

It should say:

newsURL         = "news:" [ server "/" ] [ article / newsgroups ]

Notes:

Neither <article> nor <newsgroups> allow empty entries, but in the example there is an empty entry.

news://news.server.example/

Which means the as same as

news://news.server.example/*
