I think that returning by default only the top level object would be a
bad idea. Contact information are already hidden by the abuse-mailbox
attribute in the IRT record, so this would not make things simpler for
users looking for an abuse desk contact and would be annoying for
everybody else.

If you really want to help users to quickly find a good contact then
please add in a prominent place on www.ripe.net a form like
http://www.cert.pl/cgi-bin/ipdig.pl, which automatically looks for a
the best possible abuse contact and presents only that.
This is trivial to implement and would serve the needs of most of the
whois web interface users.
