I'm not exactly happy with LWZ, your old (2004) whois-srv draft was more in a direction I'd like. What I really want sometimes is a working address, or _incorrect_ data, because it's always about abuse, and for "WDPRS" or similar I need incorrect data. > The parent element (<bag>) is explained in RFC3981 Yes, that's how I stumbled over the typos in the references - trying to find a source for the <salt> and <md5> example... :-) > Read section 4.4 of that RFC for clarifications. Admittedly I looked only at the examples in 3981. With 4.4 it is clearer, example A.1 in LWZ is apparently a second query to another server, after the client got a "bag" elsewhere before.
