I never saw either of those three on my domain, or most other
domains up until recently, and curiosly went googling to run
into this:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum25/951.htm

[not a very credible source, but sounds about right to me from my
experience]

Also on the page: "Verisign's .ORG registry is now run by PIR.org and
will be operated as a thick registry. Thick Registries already display
this information. Most new Registries are operated as thick"

So I suppose, depending on whom your domain is registered through would
also
effect your WHOIS record.
