Hello all:
 
I came across this internet draft just yesterday and would certainly like to
have some more information on it.
 
Also, I am faced with a requirement in a program to be able to use the whois
protocol and extract data out of the output from different registrars by
parsing them. However, since the output varies from registrar to registrar,
I decided to search for ways to overcome this problem and that is when I
came across this 'whois export and exchange format'.  The question that I
now have is that how do I identify if a registrar is capable of sending me
the output of the whois query as an xml document as outlined in this draft?
Pls pls explain me that.
 
I have been trying to solve this problem for a long time now and any help in
this regard would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
