You are quite right. At the moment, but few years ago, the IRT object was not intended for abuse departments handling outbound abuse. IRT was originally intended for certs exchange information about security issues.
Yet, a _single_ point of contact (mail, fax, phone, you name it) should is provided. The way abuse-related information is processed internally (outbound abuse communication vs. information sharing between teams) in institutions cannot (and won't) be solved in whois.
And that is exactly what the IRT should be again, with all the security measures, that were mandatory at the very beginning and got canceled over time.
I am surprised, you have any examples for IRT objects were these measures were dropped? Cheers, Adrian
