After some research, I came to the conclusion that .de is, indeed,
still broken:

And *where exactly* does this RFC say that the whois input and output must
behave in a different way than the .de input and output does now?

More to the point, Kai, in line with my earlier comment that RFCs are
"Request For Comment" documents not standards, where does ANYTHING say
that ANYONE MUST abide by them as if they were standards?
Of course, NOTHING says a particular anti-spam tool cannot decide to
use the formalisms from an RFC to build a filter mechanism, either. The
RFCs are "good things". They just are not "mandatory things," yet.
