NSI seems to have modified their WHOIS response format again, now including
full information about each contact. Again, this broke one of my scripts
since nothing is where it's supposed to be. Didn't they promise before to
notify people before they did this again?
Anyone else trying to process the response from a WHOIS should take note:
# whois -h whois.networksolutions.com microsoft.com

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it's really ugly. If it's a
bug, yuck.
