Agreed.

Agreed, even if the response would in this case not really reflect the
server's internal fast failure, since it would still return the same
error message for each checked object. But I can live with that.
The question remains how to respond in situations where, for the same
name, some <command> report assessed fees (since the name is e.g. OK for
a certain phase or period), but some others have a <reason> indicating an
error.
Which value should the <cd> element's "attribute" have? Here's the
example from yesterday's e-mail again:
<chkData xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:fee-0.17">
<currency>EUR</currency>
<cd avail="???">
<objID>example.tld</objID>
<command name="create" phase="open">
<period unit="y">1</period>
<fee applied="immediate"
description="domain creation in phase 'open'"
grace-period="PT1M" refundable="true">60.00</fee>
</command>
<command name="create" phase="custom" subphase="defensive">
<period unit="y">1</period>
<fee applied="immediate"
description="domain creation in phase
'defensive-registration'"
grace-period="PT1M" refundable="true">30.00</fee>
</command>
<command name="create" phase="custom" subphase="promotion">
<reason>domain name not available as a promotion name</reason>
</command>
</cd>
</chkData>
My suggestion would be to always include all <command> results in the
<cd> element (whether they have fees or reason), and to have <cd
avail="true"> as long as at least one <command> does not have a <reason>
indicating an error. I.e., only if all the <command> elements in the
response contain a reason indicating an error, the <cd> element should
indicate the non-availability of fees.
Thoughts?
Best regards,
Thomas
