A goal is to provide 90% of the feature and policy information to help
drive the client logic.  The mapping certainly wouldn't be small and might
have to make external references for things like reserved names.  I have
done some work on it, but I wanted to know if there is interest in it.
One of the key attributes would be the phases of the TLD (sunrise, rights,
steadyState) with start and end dates.  I might be dreaming that something
useful could be created, but it might be worth a shot.
