I'd also be in favour of adding an optional(?) special or type attribute=20
or element to the fee extensions, that reflects the price class of=20
domains differing from the standard pricing e.g.

*<special>Tier1</special>* or <fee:cd ... *type=3D"Tier1"*>

The extension right now reflects the billing between the registry and a=20
registrar. But when dealing with customers or resellers, this would=20
limit the flexibility for reseller and retail pricing models. Domains=20
are typically sold through a chain:

     REGISTRY -> REGISTRAR (-> RESELLER)* -> CUSTOMER

For registries offering premium domains, it makes sense to limit the=20
number of different premium price classes. That way registrars and=20
resellers can define their own pricing models for those classes.=20
Otherwise registrars and resellers would be limited to fix increments or=20
percentage based markups.

A fee check response could look like this:

S:  <fee:cd xmlns:fee=3D"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:fee-0.5" *type=3D"AAA+"*>
S:    <fee:name>somepremium.tld</fee:name>
S:    <fee:currency>USD</fee:currency>
S:    <fee:command>create</fee:command>
S:    <fee:period unit=3D"y">1</fee:period>
S:    <fee:fee>1234.00</fee:fee>
S:  </fee:cd>

If the registry uses an attribute that reflects the price class, then it=20
should also be required on create, renew, transfer and restore. E.g.

C:  <fee:create xmlns:fee=3D"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:fee-0.4" *type=3D"AAA=
+"*>
C:    <fee:currency>USD</fee:currency>
C:    <fee:fee>12.00</fee:fee>
C:  </fee:create>


This would also cover the following case: A registry could come up with=20
a business model, where the registration fee for premium domains matches=20
the standard fee for that TLD, but those premium domains have a higher=20
renewal price. Requiring the attribute (that indicates a premium domain)=20
for those domains would prevent an accidental premium registration.
