[regext] WG: draft-ietf-regext-epp-fees: add feature to inquire balance and credit limit?

 Hello Thomas,

 We have technically a credits based backend with pre-payment (tldbox).
 But in fact we are doing post-payment with our Registrars by managing huge
 volumes of credits for each of them. So in our case this wouldn’t make sense
 - at least it could lead to confusion.

 So this should be optional.

 Best, Matthias
