This might be just historical accident.  The original .info
implementation, which was based on the earliest drafts around, used
clientLock and serverLock instead of these more-granular status
values.  Similarly, when we move a registry from RRP to EPP, we have
to map the various LOCK status values into the granular EPP values. 
In both cases, our answer was to add as many of the EPP status values
as needed to emulate the more-comprehensive status, so we included
*RenewProhibited part of the "package" from a LOCK.  It was a sane
map, and since registrars often use the expression "to lock a
domain", I expect the behaviour will hang around for some time.
