Simply put, we are attempting to avoid registrars performing updates on Contact information that are not authorised or requested by the Contact.
We have found that "bringing out the big stick" doesn't work effectively, so now we are attempting to put the decision making where it belongs, in the hands of the registrant.

We did identify this issue as well, knowing that the sponsoring registrar would have access to the code. 
Does an implementation exist where the AuthInfo is used as an out-of-band means of authorisation from the registrant.

In this instance we are looking at the replacement of the associated domain registrant ID with a different one. This is a domain update where the current registrant can use the associated domain AuthInfo to approve the change of the registrant ID to a different one.
