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

[Bill Weinman <wew@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.)
