Hank,
These whois servers uses an output format "based" on RPSL with added extensions for organizations and dns delegation status.
Can you point me to documentation on the extensions? Any plan on RFCing?
The whois server at the .BR registry (also the NIR for Brazil) doesn't provide country information because it's implicit as it only provide information for Brazil.
Implicit is fine for humans but for automated scripts, couldn't it be made to have country=BR for all your inetnum entries? Thanks, Hank

Does anyone know what standard is being used here? It looks like RIPE format but very modified. What bothers me is not the additional tags but rather that an automated script would not be able to determine country from their response.
Thanks, -Hank
