do you think anyone will then "resell" access to the service to those who don't have a tag or are members of nominet.

what would be really useful is a servicre that shows you what domains a person or company owns.

it used to be possible to do it for .com's a few years ago.

Exactly what 'loopholes' are you referring to? Have you shared your insight with [email protected]?

PRSS seems like a reasonable idea to me, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of an increase in DRS cases.

the t&c's forbid that, but no doubt it will happen. it does/did with the old PRSS.

from a quick scan of the pages on nominet, it's a web browser interface, which will limit the speed that data can be sent/received/interpreted.

Is there going to be an API for this service to enable scripted wildcard seaches, presumably on a quota basis?

No, I think it's web based only.

This new system presumably allows Nominet to log all queries and who made them so that any claims of "abuse" can be looked into...
