This should be proposed as an EPP extension anyway. At least one line of text per domain name should be usable for such purposes.
There would have to be at least two lines of text per domain. One for the registrar with full contact information and one for the reseller. But I am still in favor of a thin model. Keep in mind that our whole system is setup as a thick model and I would rather not have to have the expense of re-writing our whole system to accomodate this change. I don't think you can assume that this is trivial for many registrars. This will be expensive.
How do you handle .org, .biz and .info right now? They are thick, too.
We had to build a separate method for .org .info and it is not even done yet.
This is up to the registry. However there should be a webinterface that shows all informations 'pretty-printed'.
Doesn't handle the situation where another entity wants to query port 43 to display the information without creating their own routine to "pretty-print" the info. In other words it will only be nicely human readable if viewed through the registry web interface but not through another entities web interface.
Usually every registrar has its own "pritty-print" routines right now. How do you display .com/.net whois data of other registrars, or whois data for .biz/.info domains?
First, I don't know how you can say "usually every registrar has its own pritty-print routines right now" when you then ask "How do you display". If you didn't even investigate how we do it, then how can you make such a general statement? Here is my survey: I just checked register.com for "john.info" and the display was right from the .info whois. Same for godaddy.com Same for us. Second, not only registrars display queried whois information. There are plenty of resellers, ISP's and others who legitimately offer whois display through a web page and will only display the registry whois output. Larry Erlich http://www.DomainRegistry.com
