john, (all,) my own prior review of this proposal was effectively neutral but 
actually negative. dns does not permit the kind of rate limiting and logging 
needed by individual domain holders around their whois details unless they 
operate their own authority servers, which is rare these days.

i would prefer to see a SRV RR at _whois._tcp.$apex, and a separate service 
running on the designated server(s) to actually provide the whois information. 
i believe there's a JSON or similar encoding now, to make it machine readable.

i'd like to know who fetches my registration information, and how often. some 
friend with whom i exchange secondary name services will likely not thank me 
for asking to see their dnstap output, or to run my preferred DNS RRL config.
