[anti-abuse-wg] Time Stamps (?)

Uh, just because I myself often have problems to make foreign whois
servers tell me what I need:

	We are not perhaps just missing the '-B' option the RIPE whois
	server requires to show "changed:" attributes?

I don't know how much they can be maliciously set/removed, I never
try to.  Leo certainly does.  Does know, I mean. :-)

Sorry if I missed the point and stated something obvious.
