To emphasise what Scott already pointed out, it's not going to create
an "easier to use EPP API".  It's going to create a new protocol, sort
of like EPP.

Normally, what we hear is how difficult it is to deal with the
plethora of extensions -- the tiny differences in the various
extensions make everything too hard for registries and registrars
alike.  (Given some servers' carelessness with their namespaces,
actually, this isn't that surprising.  The greeting turns out to be a
crummy guide to the extensions actually on offer in many deployed
implementations.)  I'm finding it a little hard to believe that it
will be easier to solve this problem by ditching EPP in favour of a
completely new protocol with a new set of such challenges.

Best,

A
