You've hit the nail on the head there. The lack of a uniform query syntax across the registries requires intelligence in the client that would otherwise not be required. Defining standard query language syntax / information presentation format across the registries is exactly why the IETF CRISP working group exists. Lets hope that as a few of their I-Ds get onto the RFC standards track we can finally get a registry structure that is so easy to use that people start keeping their objects up to date ;) -- Russell Heilling http://www.ccie.org.uk/ PGP: finger [email protected]
