rirs have a compatibility problem and arin is the worst.



rirs' "stats" files, the data of record, are pretty incompatible, and we

could not add data to them anyway.



reverse dns delegations might be interesting except for the showstopper

issues i recently posted in another message.



that leaves whois and the rpsl-like data.  unless i am missing

something.
