We do some validation, IIRC, but I seem to recall that there are some parts of the spec that the developers decided would be better caught later in the chain. This might have been an optimisation in an effort to avoid doing the same work twice -- there are policy rules that aren't actually part of the XML validation, that you'd still end up having to check for other reasons, and I think those cases are caught by the policy rules _even if_ they're not valid according to EPP. (It's also possible our developers have since fixed this issue -- I'm not involved directly in that stuff any more. I know we did this once, though, because we explicitly stated we weren't going to fix it.)
