Re: ROID how useful?

Francisco,

I'm really not sure what you are proposing.  The contact ID is unique within an individual registry while a roid is unique across all registries.  Referencing a contact roid with it's auth info that resides elsewhere is the only advantage that I can see over the use of the contact ID.  In both cases they are unique for supporting authorization of the domain info and transfer commands, so I don't believe there is a true issue with referencing the roid as the RFC is defined.  There are uses of roid for dealing with objects whose names can change like hosts and even custom object mappings like for DotName.
