Hi Aaron,

at .SE the clTRID is ignored as long as it fits the standard definition 
(3-63 characters). It is returned to the client in the answer, but 
that's it.

We actually do have registrars not sending clTRID at all, sending the 
same clTRID with every command, sending the clTRID from our example code 
with every command, setting clTRID to a hash of the command, ...

Regards from Stockholm

Where a command is received from a registrar with a clTRID which has been previously used by the same registrar, the cached server response is returned to the client, instead of the command being executed a second time.  The intention is to provide idempotency at the server level, when commands are issued multiple times.
