Heh, heh, heh.  There are just about as many whois output formats as there are back-end data-stores.  Note that I say â??data-storesâ?? rather than databases.  Some of them arenâ??t.  So when you say â??titleâ?? I assume youâ??re referring to half of a key-value pair.  A concept some large whois sources donâ??t have.

So, youâ??re not running into a poorly-documented mystery, youâ??ve run afoul of one of the rotten armpits of the shub-Internet.
