while in fact we do have some requirements - as laid out in this FAQ snippet,
none of those involve third party validation, let alone at registration time.

Technically speaking, we do not use EPP, so we cannot serve as an example.
Conceptually, since no ex-ante validation is involved, this extension would
not be of interest for us.

I'm not sure how this would help make the case. It doesn't need ICANN nor
the RAA to bind registrars to applicable law and regulation. In the opposite
direction, I don't think that each and every "local" requirement
(automatically) has to result in a standardized extension.

I do think, though, that this WG - and the IESG - might want to be extra
careful regarding the boundaries between protocol and policy.
