[regext] Re: ccTLDs using EPP

[Rubens Kuhl <[e-mail]>]

Not following the same semantics of an specific gTLD registry that was the first to adopt Thick WHOIS is different from not following the EPP standard. 

I agree with Thomas that those specific examples are not EPP, but all gTLDs and most ccTLDs follow EPP to the letter.
