 Which JPNIC block?  The original JPNIC delegation was from SRI,
predating NSI, APNIC and ARIN.  And no, there is no standard for
whois data that is published, let alone publishing at all.





Ah, now I see the issue.  That's insanely sparse on the
information.  Since I'm really quite ignorant in the area, who gives JPNIC
the power to assign netblocks?  APNIC I presume, after checking with
APNIC's whois database.  I guess there's no policy for standards and the
like.  How do things like standards get enforced amongst registry entities
outside the US?

:sigh:  I really wish we could get a common format for these.  

I really like the ripe style databases.
