You are correct: the RIPE RDAP service returns the abuse-c contact as an entity under an IP object, but not the "validation failed" comment.

We will add this comment as a "remarks" data structure within the IP object: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7483#section-4.3

We plan to work on the RDAP functionality after the RIPE 80 meeting, we will include this change.

Thanks for bring this omission to our attention.
