Suggestion:*

WHOIS-RWS provides results in XML or JSON. Due to the same-origin 
policy, it is not possible for a client's web browser to access 
WHOIS-RWS. Of course the server of the website that the client is 
visiting could act as a proxy between the client's browser and 
WHOIS-RWS, but that is a waste of bandwidth.

If WHOIS-RWS could provide results in JSONP or set 
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to allow CORS, it would allow 
developers that depend on WHOIS-RWS to create easier and more efficient 
web applications.
