Yeah, it's very messy. And until we see more tlds (I'm actually a proponent
of allowing _any_ tld, with maybe a five-character limit), it's not like

you what whois server knows about any given domain. That's what my little
snippet of shell script does -- makes the whois command find the right
server and use it.
