Sure we like the idea, actually we ourselves also do this sort of work;
see our current front page feature at eff.org headed "Phish for the
Future", which (yes) includes some information gained through WHOIS.  So
we are not totally misinformed about this issue as your reply seems to
assume.  We just don't think that there should be any additional
personal information about registrants made available through the RDS,
even if it is limited to security researchers or anti-abuse specialists.
