I think the whole issue of how the original IAFA template relates to
whois++ templates needs airing.... We are basing our work in ROADS on 
IAFA templates, and hoping to make changes to them as the implementation 
requires. Whereas the work on White Pages implementations seems to be 
going forward with 'whois++ templates' which are as ye undocumented.
