[db-wg] Changes for abuse

This document is very confusing.
 
The section : "(3) Adding 'abuse output' Option " describes the changes to
the result returned for "$ whois 10.0.0.10". However the result displayed is
actually the result before the change. This is followed by a description of
the result of "$ whois -b 10.0.0.10". The result includes "e-mail:"
attributes but no "abuse-mailbox:" attribute.
So which request do I use to obtain the  "abuse-mailbox:" attibute? . In
your examples it is only returned with the "$ whois -L 10.0.0.10". And yet I
am supposed to use the "$ whois -b 10.0.0.10" to get the abuse contacts.
Should I expect to ignore the attributes and treat any email address
returned with the "whois -b" request as an abuse contact?
 
I have tried using the "whois -b" and I have yet to get a result without
ERROR appearing.
