Thank you for the work put into this document.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points (but replies would be appreciated even if only for my own education).

I hope that this helps to improve the document,

-- Section 3.3 --

In "mantid", should the reference for the encoding of the language be mentioned ?

<<
We believe that the encoding for the language of "maintid" should default to the encoding included in the "encoding" attribute of the main "xml" element of the response and should not be needed to be included here.
>>

The use of "maint:tlds" seems to indicate a limitation to top-level domains only (even if the text mentions later "registry zone") but EPP is used not only for TLD. Suggest to make it even clearer (as I am afraid that it is too late in the process to change the element name).

<<
The description of <maint:tld> element includes that the element can include top-level domain or registry zone and we felt that adding the description to <maint:tlds> may add duplication that may not be needed.  However if others agree we would be happy to add in the <maint:tlds> description also.
>>

-- Section 4.1.3.1 --
In the example, there is "<maint:type lang="en">" but lang is not specified as an attribute of "maint:type" in section 3.3.

<<
In section 3.3, the description of "<maint:type>" does already appear to have the following language -  
      "The OPTIONAL "lang" attribute MAY be present to
      identify the language if the negotiated value is something other
      than the default value of "en" (English)."

We might have missed it, but it seems it is already there.  Could you verify?
