Separate issue entirely.
The .de 'WHOIS' is as functional as any other.
I just did a 'whois' on one of the larger old-line German companies and
got back the whole nine-yards of information.
Nothing withheld.
'where's the beef'?
The 'beef' is a nidiot who doesn't know there is more to making the
query than incomplete use of telnet.
And the ignorant-of-rfc's were TOLD specifically what they were doing
wrong on that telnet issue quite a long while ago.
So there is a learning disability in place there. 'Unwillingness',
AKA 'failure to repair'.
Not that 'whois' is all that hard to use instead of a telnet session anyway.
'.to' is another matter form .be, .de, et al.
But those who use it like it just fine the way it is.
