This is one of the (unwanted) side-effects of removing hashes from the
whois output: the DB object can no longer be used as the primary/authoritative
copy of the object, and retrieved for submitting an update.

It should still work as follows, assuming that "one party" still has a "full"
copy of the object and uses password authentication:

1) get a plain copy of the unfiltered object from a reliable source
2) modify the object as planned
3) sign the message with your PGP Key or X509 Key
4) send the modified and signed object back to where you got it from
5) have the "keeper of the master copy" submit the update by attaching the
   password, or rather signing the update, too
6) ask the "k.o.t.m.c" to store the modified object for future ref ;-)

This *should* work, imho, fingers crossed...

PS: don't forget the use of the -B flag (or equivalent) to prevent loss
    of all accumulated changed: lines ;-)
