Yes, this is correct. However, it doesn't matter what info NSOL has. If the
"host record" they're using matches up with something that's registered in
Internic WHOIS, then the GTLD servers will use the correct info when updating
the glue records in the SOA. The only effective symptom of having the wrong
info in the NSOL WHOIS is annoyance and confused customers.
For a real-life example of this, try:
$ whois nanovention.com
then try
$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net nanovention.com soa
