I personally think you're better off following the spec. One-off deviations make it more difficult for registrars to develop software systems that work across registries. You might want to check with your other registrar partners to see what they think.

Having said that, if you do it be sure to change the URIs for the namespace and schema identifiers. Once you change the schema you're (as you described above) EPP-based, not EPP.
