Hello,



I think it's worth providing some thoughts about the EAI support in EPP from a 
registrar's perspective.



From a registrar's perspective, when the registry provides some feature, the 
registrar has to support it in most cases. When a registry supports EAI, the 
registrar should be ready to at least get an EAI address in the <info> command 
on transfer.



Registrars usually got accreditation for working with more than one registry, 
and have to write some registry-specific code. In the case of EAI, the changes 
should require at least accepting EAI addresses from the clients not having the 
ASCII ones and some mechanism providing the valid ASCII email address in the 
case when such client wants to register a domain in a registry that does not 
support EAI.



[SAH] This is why an optional extension is our best option. The server 
(registry) advertises support for the extension. The capability is requested 
when a client (registrar) performs a login with a server, and there’s reduced 
risk of the client sending something the server won’t understand and vice-versa.



Scott
