Severely lacking currently are informational RFCs concerning best current
practice for those implementing EPP clients and servers.

I concur.

I mentioned that very idea on this list before Christmas. The rough consensus
was that things like a registry policy ought to be provided independently of
EPP. Some also expressed scepticism that it'd even be possible to account for
all the possible variations on registry policy. It's something I've been
working on during my free time, but due to my lack of free time lately, is not
something I've made as much progress on as I'd like.
