  Dear Piet!

Direct 'whois' access to that information is
and stays useful, because not *everything* is
in DNS; it can't even be without overloading
[cache/memory] of nameservers and hosts all
over the Internet. The current RIPE 'whois'
access however is well-established, which is
why I've suggested to drop all Domain objects
except for a special one ("*td") for the top
level domains, which would then contain an
attribute ("*ws") pointing to the whois server
for that top level domain. RIPE's whois server
can than act as a "forwarder" for requests for

  Unfortunately I didn't find the spare cycles to dive into the rwhois
  project info, but I think there could be some hidden synergy.
  
  Do you have any ideas on this aspect?
  Thanks,
  Wilfried.
