	At the same time RFC1183 defines a method of incorporating contact 
	information for zones into the DNS itself. Doesn't this invalidate
	the rationale for keeping information about domains in the database?
No, it doesn't. The 'whois' service is just to easy and
widely in use for this purpose already that you cannot
suddenly switch to another method. The only way to do
that would be in a worldwide coordination action where
the domain information would be removed from the NIC
whois database too. Personnally I don't see that happen.
