Re: <check> Response Attribute
Eric,
According to the epp 04 draft, "value identifies the object as
either "+" for a known object or "-" for an unknown object.", the implimentation
below is incorrect.
For what is suppose to be represented, object unknown or object know, a
boolean type is completely appropriate.
