Re: [provreg] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-brown-epp-fees-01.txt

[Pat Moroney <[e-mail]>]

Another addition I was hoping we could consider is a flag of some sort that
would signal that the fee is somehow special or unusual.
A good example of this would be where a certain tld has different pricing
for 2 character domains then the normal base price.
This would be particularly useful if we have to account for those
differently or perform additional checks in those cases.

I feel that the best place for such a flag would be as an attribute to the
fee:fee element. I'm not sure of the best name for such an element, but as
an example I'll use "special":
<fee:fee description="Renewal Fee" special="0">5.00</fee:fee>
or
<fee:fee description="Renewal Fee" special="1">5.00</fee:fee>
And omission of that attribute would imply that the value is 0.

Another option is that if the base fee is always one of the listed fees and
they are differentiated by their descriptions. The problem I see with that
is it could get messy with different registries utilizing different
descriptions for their fees. Also I could see that a registry could use
something like "Registration Fee" as a description for both premium and non
premium registrations, thus removing the ability to discern if it is a
premium or not.

Let me know if any of this makes sense or if there is a better venue or way
for me to make these suggestions since I am new to this list.
