Howdy Stephane,
It is also an area where many cctld operators maintain their registration
data using spreadsheets, and "whois" isn't :43.
Not an issue of activel malfeasence, other than early adopter attitudes
towards late, and challenged adopters. As you note, there are many reasons
behind [it, the impossibility to get a PTR record or a :43 server connect].
