	Simon,

	The data also looked good to me, with the exception of a few domains
which existed in DNS, but not on the server (I'd have to dig them up - not
handy at the moment).  My "isn't sufficient" qualification was regarding
the lack of recognition by IANA, not the data - Sorry for not being clear.
(And if IANA, did recognize them, I assume that a "REGISTRY SECTION" of the
data would them "just appear" for most whois clients).

	Compare to the server for ".tv" domains, which functions, but is
also unknown/unrecognized by IANA (http://www.iana.org/root-whois/tv.htm,
but whois.www.tv works fine for nearly all domains - e.g. abc.tv).
