Already been there and done that.

Now I'd like to check to make sure that there is 100% consistancy
between what is in WHOIS and what is in the zone files.

This may perhaps not be entirely wasted effort.  I have some basis to
believe that for at least one RIR, the WHOIS and the zone files are
*not* 100% consistant with one another.

P.S.  I also don't think that it would have killed anyone if someone
had just had the minimal courtesy to put a README file in the /pub/zones/
directory, explaining what Anand Buddhdev just explained about why some
data is present there, while a whole lot of other data that one would
naturally expect to see there is just mysteriously absent.

No, none of this is either obvious or intutive.
