Ugh. A write-back wouldn't be easy to implement, as the various bits cannot be update atomically; more than 1 call to the registry would likely be required. Then there's the whole problem of what to do if one step fails... The existing API allows you to modify the full domain info, and allows you to determine the method to back-out, should any step fail. Tucows implementing record write-back as you sugges would be a step backwards IMO. Mark.
