We have discussed such a principle some time ago, but it is/will be
rejected by the politics of ICANN registrars.
In our technical vision, EPP only needs to be used for bootstrapping the
original delegation and chain of trust. After that, all technical stuff
can be done over (secure) DNS, and EPP is only needed for administrative
data.
ICANN registrars disagree. According to their contract, ALL changes to
the delegation may only be done by submission by the registrar over EPP
to the registry, so that they are aware and can intercept technical
changes. Even if that means the delegation is technically incorrect. NS
changes can also be done over DNS if that is a secure channel, but
registrars want to be able to block technical changes when f.e. a bill
has not been paid. The motivation they use is that provisioning the
registry data then comes from 2 channels, DNS and EPP, and the
discussion may arise which one is authoritative.
