Re: Launch Phase EPP Extension Version 08

I think the extension would be preferable. It can serve as a signal of
intent from the registrar that they know exactly what phase they're
applying for. I could perhaps envision a scenario where there's
some intercommunication between the registry and registrar on the ending
time of sunrise, and the registrar ends up creating an application instead
of an allocated registration on create.
