I can see one reason: no requirement of a completely new EPP object
type.  This isn't nothing.

Also, EPP already has to support registry policies that place
restrictions on what you can do to a name even though the restriction
isn't reflected anywhere in the registry; we call this "registry
policy" usually.  For instance, some names require a "presence"
requirement be fulfilled.  The presence precondition is satisfied by
the address value in the primary contact associated with the domain.
You can tell, if you look, whether a given contact object will satisfy
a given presence precondition, but there's no way to tell just by
looking at a name whether some contact or other will fulfill its
presence preconditions.  

(Nevertheless, there is something that feels unnatural under EPP about
linking different objects together this way, however loosely.)

Best,

A
