This is certainly true.  And I also agree that having a (somewhat?)
standard way of representing most of the objects is a pretty good
idea, too.  After all, what use is having it "in XML" if what that
really means is that, at the time an emergency happens such that the
data needs to be recovered from escrow, the people doing the recovery
first have to write a special-purpose parser to get the data into a
format readable by their target DBMS.  So the proposals to use
additional EPP mappings or IRIS seem to me to be a good direction to
go.  Nevertheless, this still seems like something that needs
attention in contracts first, right?
