Anyway there is an indication that "The object shown below is NOT in the RIPE database. It has been obtained by querying a remote server". This also means that during this phase DENIC mirrors the RIPE Database. When finally DENIC has its own person database one will get <handle>-DENIC indeed. But then there is no need to query whois.ripe.net for this handle. Sorry if I missed something. Regards, Andrei, waiting for comments in Amsterdam.
