Yes, requiring registrars to specify the correct phase was exactly our
approach to preventing the accidental registration of expensive names.

It seemed like a natural solution at the time - the fee extension didn't
seem mature (and widespread) enough to be used, and launch phases allowed
us to essentially introduce domain/tariff categories without the need for
yet another proprietary extension, which we're trying to avoid as much as
possible.

Later, when the fee extension seemed suitable, we added it as an
*alternative* to the launch phase extension. I.e., a registrar can now
*either* provide the correct phase *or* supply the expected fees (or
both). Yet with the latest changes to the fee extension, our server can
no longer truthfully report correct fees since the registrar would have
to know the right phase up front, creating a chicken-egg problem.

Both approaches are possible, entirely "custom" phases or sub-phases of a
standard phase.

Best regards,

Thomas
