It was my understanding that one of the goals of eppext is to promote
publication of _existing_ EPP extensions as a mechanism to prevent further
duplication. Several registries have ³key-value pair² extensions, however
your last sentence suggests that the public will identify duplication
within these and allow only one to be registered with IANA?
