Looks like it's fixed tonight; expiry is blanked out, from here anyway.

           <form action = "RenewDomain_exp.asp" method = "post">
               <tr bgcolor = "#FFFFFF" height = "20">
                  <td height = "25">&nbsp;</td>
                  <td class = "box-text"><b>namescout.com.au</b></td>
                  <td class = "box-text"></td>
                  <td class = "box-text">
                        <select name="renew_years">
                            <option value = "2" >
           2 Years</option>
                        </select>
                </td>

I wonder whether registrars should even be supplied with information not
meant to be publicly revealed by the registry whois (except for benefit
of the existing registrant, of course)  ie, does this rely on the web
coding prowess of the registrar to enforce database access integrity?
