I'm not sure what you mean "on server side".

We are not at the moment.  I know there have been internal
discussions about it, but that's about all I can say on the topic
just now.

The dreg2 stuff was explicitly aimed at supporting EPP-based systems
as well as other systems.  The author was very responsive to some
suggestions I sent; as nearly as I can tell, the approach provides an
extremely good query framework.

I don't see the reason for this.  You have to be able to provide a
query interface anyway to non-registrar users, so you need such a
thing.  IRIS is intended to provide that.  It seems more likely that
one will provide a consistent experience for everyone by providing
bulk query access via the same interface to everyone.
