"status" in the whois/rds context is the field called status which lists
the "locks" (or lack of - hence the security /abuse issue) of a domain
If it's not registered it wont be in the database at all
e.g.
whois blahblah123.com
No match for domain "BLAHBLAH123.COM".
^ This (potential) domain is not registered
whois a-n-other.com
Domain Status: OK
^ This domain is not locked
