Hi Scott,

although this feature is obviously not implemented anywhere, I personally would 
not remove it, simply because of the symmetry and the "E" in EPP. Being 
implemented somewhere is not a good indication of being worth to be supported in 
future versions of the protocol anyway. For example, the "ok" status value is 
likely implemented by all registries, but it is factually completely useless, as 
there would be no loss of information if it is simply omitted.

Regards,

Klaus
