RE: <check> Response Attribute

[Ed Rahn <ed@ItsYourDomain.Com>]

How would a <create> command deal with an object that returned a <check>
of "maybe". It would either need to create the object, or not create it.

Addressing Jordyn's comments. Could EPP be used in some type of
asynchronous fashion? I searched through the "Generic Registry-Registrar
Protocol Requirements" draft quickly and did not see anything concerning
realtime or delayed actions. If EPP could be used in a delayed environment
a "maybe" responce might be needed. In this case "yes" would be not be
used, and we would still be using a two responce system.

Addressing Edward's comments. Would we want to make <check>
conditional? This could not only be necessary for domains but any other
object that would require some type of prerequesits, such as secure
certificates. I'm under the opinion that  a <check> would return a
"no" and then set some type of reason, an <info> command could be used to
obtain the necessary prerequesits.
