here's something interesting.

how would the registry system implement something like this?  could we
define another SRV-like schema like:

vix._domain._whois._registry.com TXT "admin-c:pv15"
                                 TXT "tech-c:pv15"
                                 TXT "updated:25-Feb-2009"
                                 TXT "created:20-Jun-1995"
                                 TXT "expires:19-Jun-2011"
                                 TXT "registrar:http://tucowsdomains.com"

pv15._contact._whois._registry.com TXT "name:Vixie, Paul"
                                   TXT "email:[e-mail]"
                                   TXT "postal:Star Route Box 159A, \
                                        Woodside, CA 94062, US"
                                   TXT "pstn:+1.6504231383"

...and then leave it up to each registry (and maybe icann if they are a
regulated registry) to decide whether to implement it and to decide what
kind of rate limiting to perform?

i know there are a lot of related proposals in XML.  that's another topic.
