Antony,
Frankly, as a consumer, I don't particularly want
uniform anything...I want choice that is brought
about by my registrar being able establish its own
policies, practices, whois systems, whatever.
The only thing that must be uniform is what exists
in the thin registry model - the information that
goes into the zone file and a pointer.
