Re: I-D on Uniform Treatment of Pending Action Notification in EPP

[janusz sienkiewicz <janusz@libertyrms.info>]

I can not fully evalue Scott's proposal untill it is presented in a formal way

with all its implications on epp document and all associated object mapping
documents. I can only express opinion about the direction he is taking for
handling 'Pending Action Notification'.

I think a good and comprehensive example for handling 'Pending Action' can be
found in <transfer> command.  It make sense to solve any 'Pending Action'
situation in a manner similiar to <transfer> (to a reasonable extent). What I
can see from Scott's proposal he is making steps in that direction.
