So it is the same now as whois. The software (eg jwhois) needs to know
all these days hardcoded. If we only we had agreed on some standard a
long time ago (eg whois.nic.tld or subtld.nic.tld)

But if you go through all of that, you might as well harvest the subtld
structure too. eg I don't think the draft is very meaningful without
either the central repository/registry or a bootstrap that is similar
in all TLD's (I'd use the DNS for this, but someone would probably shoot
me)
