My apologies to everyone.  When I posted that reply I didn't even notice
the fact that the representation of domain names in the data base was/is
now being discussed also on the anti-abuse mailing list.  This very topic
has already been discussed on the DB working group mailing list, which
is arguably a more appropriate place for this discussion since abuse
contact email addresses (and their associated domain name parts) are
quite certainly not the only places where email addrsses may appear
within the WHOIS data base.
