</span>Sure. We can call them Sparky the Wonder Dogs, if we like; but the<br>
key point is that it is useful -- for network operations, for<br>
technical support people, and for lawyers who realise that their<br>
clients' domain names are registered improperly -- to be able to look<br>
up this minimal information about who registered a domain name, and to<br>
do so without formal credentials (because _ex hypothesi_ here the<br>
"real" domain name holder doesn't have a direct relationship with the<br>
registrar or, in some of these cases, isn't actually the registrant).<br>
<br>
The question started off as whether there was a legit use case for<br>
this, and I think we've demonstrated through this discussion that<br>
there is.<br>
