Yes, an industry-wide standarised way to do this kind of thing would  
of course be good Patrik. I'm not convinced EPP is the tool to use  
though. Not every registry and registrar speaks EPP. There could be  
icky implementation issues too: eg locking the database while  
something ploughs through it to generate the list. [We can't have the  
database changing while the list is generated, eh?] I fear this could  
be the start of a slippery slope as more SQL reporting type stuff gets  
shoe-horned into EPP: "gimme a list of all the domain names I  
registered for this contact that then got transferred to that  
registrar over the last N months", "which domains I manage reference  
this nameserver (or contact) object?".

Perhaps a BCP might be a better approach than an EPP extension?
