We had a jpnic nomaster no colon discussion here May 1.  The tracker for
that discussion is now dead
http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z1849442893zb3722a7914f10a5c1a8b50153e4d8a8cz

It was about the source 61.237.236.172 notified at chinatietong and
spamvertiser provider 203.141.137.252 devnulled because of jpnic no colon
syntax.

So, while one could look at how the parser (still doesn't) handle
203.141.137.252 203.141.137.252.static.zoot.jp because of the colon
discrepancy, it is not an example of a .jp source and it is not an example
with a current tracker.

Sometimes a source will arise, such as 123.219.104.114  rDNS
p8114-ipbfp01kyoto.kyoto.ocn.ne.jp which could be looked up in apnic or
jpnic.  The SC algo results in the lookup taking place in apnic which has
colons for abuse at ocn.ad.jp found in the Remarks in apnic, but if jpnic had
been used with the jpnic nic-hdl which the algo is programmed to do, then
the algo can't read the jpnic email addresses for the nic-hdl/s because of
 the lack of colon syntax.
