Hi Francisco, ROIDs can be used in conjunction with auth-infos. For example, with our registry software, the registrar can request the full contact data* of a non-sponsored contact object via <contact:info> if he specifies the ROID and auth-info of a non-sponsored domain object that references that contact object. This could be useful in preparation of a transfer, where the gaining registrar want to copy the original contacts. RFC 5731 even allows to start a transfer with a referenced contact's auth-info and ROID, but this is too risky in our opinion, so we do not allow this.
