The lack of a uniform query syntax across the registries requires intelligence in the client that would otherwise not be required.
Some of us think that respecting the installed base and continuing with the same query syntax was the way to go. Others had different opinions.
Defining standard query language syntax / information presentation formatacross the registries is exactly why the IETF CRISP working group exists. Lets hope that as a few of their I-Ds get onto the RFC standards track wecan finally get a registry structure that is so easy to use that people start keeping their objects up to date ;)
How you keep your objects up to date is actually standard.Whether you keep your objects up to date or not has nothing to do with CRISP or any other standard but rather with perceived value, enforcement by your upstream and laziness (I won't detail the relative weight of the factors).
