Re: [ietf-provreg] EPP Implementation Test Matrix
Some registrars in their clients implementations don't rely on idempotency in EPP protocol and I can understand that the feature does not help them in any way. However there is a large group of registrars who explicitly or implicitly depend on the feature. Without idempotency enforced on the server side the ratio of registrars complains obout transform commands submitted "by mistake" would increase significantly. That would eventually lead to higher client implementation and maintenance cost. I would certainly not recommend removing idempotency requirement from EPP protocol. The feature IMO brings overall more value to EPP client than servers implementers and operators. Janusz Sienkiewicz
