There are a number of unclear things in the EPP spec when you combine domain and host objects plus think of who the sponsoring registrar is.

I have a case where this is the scenario in one TLD:

Registrar A is sponsor for examplea.tld. Registrar B is sponsor for exampleb.tld. Now examplea.tld want to use ns2.exampleb.tld as name server. A name server that exists in the zone for exampleb.tld but not in the tld zone as glue (yet). The problem is that Registrar A is not allowed to create the ns2.exampleb.tld host object as they are not sponsor of the exampleb.tle, and it is not allowed to update the domain object exampleb.tld as the host object is subordinate to tld. A deadlock that so far after several months is not possible to resolve even via out of band mechanisms (i.e. pen, paper and letters).

So, having host objects as real objects can create very very very problematic situations. So be careful what you ask for.
