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
there's very much benefit for us involved. Ah well.
Anyway, there does seem to be a "top-level" whois server now, which can tell
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.
