We should be extremely careful about what data is published in the whois 
database, because whois is easily and fully accessible by anyone in the 
world.

Whois is all-or-nothing, you can't authenticate, you can't choose what 
to disclose, you can't exert any kind of access control, you can't even 
identify who queried it. it's PUBLIC!

Whois is harvested and abused daily NOT for its intended purpose.
That's why you see so many abuse@ noc@ registry@ email addresses!

You want a list of addresses for your job? Fine, do it. sell it.
keep it secret. We don't care.
Whois is not the right place to FORCE someone to publish any kind of 
information if he doesn't want to.
If you really want a legal address, there are more specialized and 
regulated databases for that. Cross referencing is not so hard.
Unless you want to be sketchy and want to go around some restriction, 
there is no point to make whois worse.
