Hi Thomas,

And yet, both RPP and EoH cause more headaches for *registars*, as they'll have to deal with more

to put things straight, RPP is chartered to be an alternative to RPP, not
replacement.
Same difference. If alternatives exists, some registries will utilize them, making life harder for
registrars who have a perfectly fine, working EPP client.
So far the experience of registries offering HTTP-based APIs alongside of EPP, found an acceptance
of over 40% of the registrars. Especially smaller ones and new ones. There was a lot on this in RPP
BoF [1].
Define "acceptance". As I said before, silence doesn't mean acceptance. Complaining will hardly ever
change a registry's determination to do the wrong thing; especially ccTLDs have a monopoly, and
they'll use that to get away with all kinds of bad tech. What e.g. .es or .cz are doing can hardly
be called EPP anymore. DENIC even decided to develop their own XML-based provisioning protocol,
avoiding EPP altogether.
My conversations with other, also bigger registrars were along the lines: we would love to use
RESTful APIs but please come around with a standard, which will work same with many TLDs, not
singular solutions.
There is a standard, and it's called EPP over TCP. I can't imagine any registrar who hasn't at least
implemented it for the big TLDs like .com/.net/.org/.info etc., so they must have a client in place.
What's the problem with using that client for other TLDs?
I'm aware that registries will have it easier to host their services on AWS etc., but registrars
don't have a horse in that race.
Best regards,
Thomas
