Ah, just got an update that also adds a different twist to this.
Since .biz and .info are both THICK registries (they are authoritative for
contact information), we have to create handles at their end - and we still
haven't hammered down all the difficulties in breaking and mixing and
altering profiles, and still have appropriate control over the right handles
(back end processing), etc...
In order to get OpenSRS to the point where you can control your own
handles... well, can you wait? Please?
I'll be getting deeper information tomorrow during a discussion on how we
can address this issue, and will get back to you then.
