Hi,

all three are not unique over time. If you delete a domain and re-create it some 
time later, you have two different objects. A use of the ROIDs could have been 
to address registry objects in a generic way, but EPP does not make use thereof 
(except in the mentioned auth-infos). As such, it is indeed questionable why 
ROIDs are exposed in EPP.

Klaus
