Additionally 'whois' is free form text. Whois doesn't include a AI to workout what this free form text means so, no, there isn't a actual referral for a whois application to use.
I'm not affiliated, but there are a couple of companies that normalize whois data. It's a whackamole game, but it sucks less than trying to do it yourself.
Additionally we should be publishing where the whois server for the tld is in the DNS. whois applications could be looking for this then falling back to other methods. e.g. _whois._tcp.pro. srv 0 100 43 whois.afilias.net. If we want machines to follow referrals we have to provide them in appropriate forms.
That's a great idea. Royce
