As to the aspect of separation of objects - well, I think with the invention of the password stuff and with the idea of grabbing the whois template output and writing scripts and the like, we should be asking whether just a blank line is the best way to separate objects... How about an "end: whatever string you like to put here" attribute to be equivalent to a blank line separating objects? Any hard feelings?
