Whose purpose is to be somehow _involved_ with abuse, I'll accept

I think we should be if we're defining the RDS/WHOIS purpose

If our 1st question is what data is collected (and why) and our 2nd 
question is what subset of that should be available (and to whom/under 
what circustances) being 'accurate' needs to be of extreme importance.
