Blind, overzealous adherence to the notions that a virtual server
should always be referred to, never defined, within a group info, and
that when referring to a virtual server, rather than defining one,
"nnfoo:address" should always be used, rather than (nnfoo "address").
Perhaps nndraft is sufficiently special to break these notions, but I
think it'd be nice if it weren't.

But then why would it start working after M-g?
