Since it's only ever 2 years, the domain has either expired or it hasn't
(within the multiples of two years).
Nominet does not allow for an explicit renewal (you can't add a two year
term somewhere within the registration's lifespan) - it auto-renews on the
expiry date, for another two years. (period)
Rather painful to work business logic around that, but we're trying ;)

Indeed.
Personally I am delighted that expiry dates are now going to be published,
this was our biggest gripe with Nominet and causes us endless grief with
transferring in detagged or renewal due domains. Previously all we could do
without sending an email in to Nominet for every single domain requesting
the expiry date was to guess the expiry by adding multiples of 2 years to
the registration date - hideously unreliable.

Of course, a test output for Nominet members wont be available until
September 1st ...
There's been mutterings of this for months, I - for one - am glad it's
finally happening :)

On 1 October 2002 Nominet is finally expanding WHOIS for .UK domains.
New details will include the Registrant name, the address details for
registrants that have been classified as businesses, the date on which the
domain name is due for renewal, and the name and URL of the Tag Holder. The
second phase will include address details for non-trading individuals (there
will be an opt out option for individuals) so apart from those who have
opted out, the address details on the expanded whois will be fully populated
by December 2004.
