Because of the fragmentation of the whois approaches
I think that DNS will be the only common point where
we can store whoi-like information.

Rather than design a new *protocol*, all we have to do is come
to some common understanding about how to extend the *platform*.
This is one of the important differences in the IPv8 methodology
and the IPv4/6 approach to the world. The IETF is protocol-centric,
in IPv8 we have to focus on the platform.
