;) Craig (who runs domain direct) has a hard enough time keeping on top of
the OpenSRS feature set without having to worry about stealing ideas from
others ;) I don't even think that he is running client code current enough
to offer .uk's which were release last September.
One of the points that Elliot made, that I think got lost was that for some
wholesale customers with specific needs, Domain Direct technology is used to
back-end the transactions before OpenSRS sees them. I call it a
"dummy-wedge" that eases some of the transactions for companies that want to
outsource 100% of their domain registration business. This is the route that
Opera and a few others have taken, but at the end of the day, it really is a
wholesale relationship like all of our others....
