Hi Scott,

as your probably know, CORE has recently implemented the puntCAT registry, which 
also supports EPP as described in RFCs 3730 to 3735.

Not for domain transfers, but domain and contact info commands. (Also for 
defensive registrations, but as they are not covered by the standards, that 
probably doesn't matter.)

For security reasons, we decided to not accept roids of associated objects for 
the domain transfer, but only the authinfo of the domain itself.

Yes, depending on the credentials supplied via an extension, the system decides 
whether an off-line review is required or not. If so, 1001 is returned, the 
pendingCreate status value is set and at the end of the review, a panData 
message is dispatched by the system. The only deviation is that we allow a 
deletion of the domain object despite the pendingCreate to allow the abort of 
the review process of an unwanted domain (as part of the grace period).
