I just realized that the agreement seems to be that it is OK to specify a larger fee than actually charged by the server. I don't think this is a good idea, I'd prefer requiring a perfect match of all fees. Sure, allowing the specification of larger fees still guards the registrar from losing money, but it will also potentially lead to the registrar unintendedly overcharging a customer if e.g. fees are statically configured in a registrar's system, and a price change notification is missed. It also raises the question what to do when multiple fees are involved. If the server e.g. charges 50 for creating an initial application (immediate) and 50 later upon a domain's allocation (delayed), should the server accept it if the registrar specifies 60 (immediate) and 40 (delayed), i.e. if the total sum of the fees in the create request is sufficient, but the individual amounts don't match? At the very least, I'd leave it up to a server's policy to accept fees which are higher than the actually assessed fees.
