People keep saying this.  My client is a three line shell script that
uses wget and grep (really.)  Could you explain how that works with
templates?

While you're at it, it'd also be helpful to identify some web servers
that people might plausibly use to implement RDAP in 2014 (as opposed
to an exercise in retrocomputing) that couldn't handle the syntax in
rdap-query.  You can skip the .wellknown stuff, which is a holdover
from a point when we thought we might use something like SRV records
that don't provide a path in the bootstrap.
