Re: How do I identify if a particular registrar complies with the 'wh ois export and exchange format'?

The next version of my BW Whois (version 4.0) will parse data from the 
different registrars and deliver XML. (In the process I am working with 
Rich Wesson to update the expired whois-export draft -- it will likely change.)

I'm currently scheduled to have a beta version ready by the end of June. (I 
have a proof of concept working already.)
