Hi Klaus,

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.

Yes, I understand that rationale, but why use the ROID there and not the contact-id as done everywhere else?
Also, if it's a "Repository Object ID" what is the rationale behind that specific format? why are we forced to use: (\w|_){1,80}-\w{1,8}, when it should be a registry-defined attribute?

I've heard similar comments from others with regards to that feature as well.
