Thanks, that should help client developers to figure it out.

I'm not exactly happy with LWZ, your old (2004) whois-srv draft
was more in a direction I'd like.  What I really want sometimes
is a working address, or _incorrect_ data, because it's always
about abuse, and for "WDPRS" or similar I need incorrect data.

Yes, that's how I stumbled over the typos in the references -
trying to find a source for the <salt> and <md5> example... :-)

Admittedly I looked only at the examples in 3981.  With 4.4 it
is clearer, example A.1 in LWZ is apparently a second query to
another server, after the client got a "bag" elsewhere before.
