There are so many loop holes with this idea it is seriously open to abuse

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...
