Heh, heh, heh. There are just about as many whois output formats as =
there are back-end data-stores. Note that I say =E2=80=9Cdata-stores=E2=80=
=9D rather than databases. Some of them aren=E2=80=99t. So when you =
say =E2=80=9Ctitle=E2=80=9D I assume you=E2=80=99re referring to half of =
a key-value pair. A concept some large whois sources don=E2=80=99t =
have.
So, you=E2=80=99re not running into a poorly-documented mystery, =
you=E2=80=99ve run afoul of one of the rotten armpits of the =
shub-Internet.
