[Ietf-not43] IRIS Open Issues

[Paul Stahura]

I see usefulness for that feature.
Many times names are transferred from one registrar to another and from
one registrant to another and sometimes a long chain of
registrants/registrars 
results.  These transfers (and re-registrations) happen either 
purposely, maliciously, or inadvertently.  
I think the ability to obtain the whois and other history would be useful,
especially to the new registrant, much like a title 
search is useful when you buy a home.
Transfers and re-registrations will happen more often 
in the future than in the past, and the chain of "ownership" 
will grow longer in the future, so the feature will become more
useful/valuable as time goes on.

Agreed.  I'm just throwing it out as a possible thing that could be done 
due to this change.  I'm not convinced of its usefulness.

Hence the use of RFC 2119 language to formalize it.
