[db-wg] changes to the implementation of "abuse-c:"

Hi Ulf

I see this as more of an oversight than a problem. But I will add it to 
the problem statement so it doesn't get overlooked again. As you say it 
is probably quite easy to fix but we will let the RIPE NCC comment on 
that when we get to the stage of discussing solutions.


btw...'pn' is the short form for 'person', so it is the implementation 
of the 'person' keyword that needs fixing.

cheers
