the edit buffer, yet to be published, has

   Currently, the registry data published by ARIN is not RPSL;
   therefore, when fetching from ARIN whois, the "NetRange" attribute/
   key must be treated as "inetnum" and the "Comment" attribute must be
   treated as "remarks".

comments appreciated

Is it possible to have one method work in all regions instead of a one
off for arin ?

rirs have a compatibility problem and arin is the worst.

rirs' "stats" files, the data of record, are pretty incompatible, and we
could not add data to them anyway.

reverse dns delegations might be interesting except for the showstopper
issues i recently posted in another message.

that leaves whois and the rpsl-like data.  unless i am missing
something.
