That worked for some a few .com and .us and .org, thanks! 
I stuffed that one-liner in a shell script named

/usr/local/bin/whoi

I may need something more clever, though:

whoi toshiba.jp 
whoi dlr.de

... return cruft at the top and no useful data.

whoi rimuhosting.nz 

... returns the whole record with cruft at the top,
along with "%' for a line spacer.

whoi cam.ac.uk

... returns one blank line
