There is a plethora of stale registrations, entities who don't register (*cough*701*cough*), and at least one entity which is robo-proxy-registering routes "in the wild" (due to the folks who don't register.)
I understand your gripe but am not interested in boiling the ocean today. If there were a *subset* of information that one was prepared to trust somewhat, the modest enhancement of more verifiable queries would be nice and, I think, fairly cheap to add. Tony
