[net.puzzle] Partitioning The Alphabet

< What do you mean the line-eating bug is fixed?!?! >

Find the rule used to partition the alphabet.

Warm up example:
	A   E   I     O     U W Y  [vowels]
	 BCD FGH JKLMN PQRST V X Z [consonants]

Rules should not depend on the numerical
properties of the corresponding integers in some arbitrary display code.
For instance, rules like "has a prime ordinal number" or
"has an even number of bits in its ASCII representation" are not 
very interesting (in my opinion).
With this in mind, here are some partitions for your consideration.
If you wish to post the solution, please include a "spoiler" indicator,
so others can enjoy them.  Will give answers in a couple weeks.

1.	A   EF HI KLMN     T VWXYZ
	 BCD  G  J    OPQRS U     

2.	A   E   I  L NO  RSTU     
	   D  G                   
	 BC         M  P          
	     F H             VW Y 
	          K               
	         J             X  
	                Q        Z

3.	 BC         MN       V X Z
	A  D FGH JKL      S       
	    E   I     OPQR TU W Y
