As far as I know, no registrar or registry has the requirement to extend these existing type values for the domain business model. Only when proposal for providing a "grace period" for DNS came out, the Redemption Grace Period (RGP) status values were extended in RFC3915 which defined a new element in the EPP extension. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If there are new roles coming out in the future, we hope they can follow the IANA change control process and be registered in the existing registry described in section 3 of RFC8126. The new roles should be known and accepted by most people.

I guess RFC3733 was written in 2004 and there may be no relatively proper addressing format to reuse then. So the author defined a format for EPP. Of course this is just my guess:)
