Subject: structure of current whois-records

I understood that this wg is going to expand and define the standard for 
WHOIS services. 

I was wondering whether there is any other document than rfc954 currently
defining whois entries. I am very interested in getting to know which
types of information (network, personal, ...) and which fields for each
type are used now and would probably be reflected in a new standard. The
background for my question is a study on the relationship between X.500
and whois records.

Any pointers / hints would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Thomas
