What is frustrating to me is that EPP already has a mechanism as you 
describe - the extensions.

Obviously you are asking for something more specific - something that 
is required in the implementation that is more specific than the dcp

I have this question.  Given the choice between making something an 
optional part of the base protocol or making it an extension to the 
base, what criteria would you follow in making the decision.  A 
couple of weeks ago the following message laid out some criteria for 
another topic:
