Scott, are you aware of the RIPE database and the handle system they use? I
think it's just perfect and superior to anything I've seen elsewhere, be it
NSI or your new info handles. I think, their software is even Open Source.
And you are probably right in regard to the "perfect solution". I think you
should concentrate on providing a good system for those domains we all make
most business with and that's probably com/net/org.
