[ietf-provreg] EPP and wildcards

["Cristian Rojas R." <crrojas@nic.cl>]

Hello all:

    This can be a stupid question, but I don't want to remain with the 
doubt. Can EPP use wildcards (particularly regular expressions)? I show 
you an example:
...
C:  <command>
C:    <check>
C:      <domain:check xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
C:                    xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0
C:                    domain-1.0.xsd">
C:        <domain:name>epp*.tld</domain:name>
C:      </domain:check>
C:    </check>
C:    <clTRID>any-thing</clTRID>
C:  </command>
...
S:  <response>
S:     <result code="1000">
S:        <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
S:     </result>
S:        <resData>
S:           <domain:chkData 
xmlns:contact="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0" 
xssi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0 domain-1.0.xsd">
S:              <domain:cd>
S:                 <domain:name avail="0">eppXX.tld</domain:name>
S:                 <domain:reason avail="0">In use</domain:reason> 
S:              </domain:cd>
S:              <domain:cd>
S:                 <domain:name avail="0">eppYY.tld</domain:name>
S:                 <domain:reason avail="0">In use</domain:reason> 
S:              </domain:cd>
S:              <domain:cd>
S:                 <domain:name avail="0">eppZZ.tld</domain:name>
S:                 <domain:reason avail="0">In use</domain:reason> 
S:               </domain:cd>
...

    I'm thinking in the implementation of a whois server based in EPP 
(for the comunication between whois server an registry's EPP server). 
This whois must accept regular expressions (just like Afilias whois). I 
think that is not possible use EPP with RE, but I prefer to ask.
