This is good, I'm very glad to see it. My main point was that the
tone of people's messages seemed to assume the existance of certain
whois++ capabilities, and I think people should not make any
assumptions yet.

Also, while the pilot is a good and necessary thing, I would still
like to see some description (5 - 10 pages) from the current
believers in centroids as to what they expect its behaviour to
be under the various circumstances (white pages, restricted yellow
pages, full blown info retrieval search, etc).
