Many things are usually allowed by the EPP Schemas but refused according 
to server policies so it seems to me that this case is similar to many 
others. For example, are registrars aware of the TLDs implementing 
DNSSEC or do they simply rely on finding the DNSSEC namespace in EPP 
greeting?

Besides, I agree with Dimitry that dealing with an ad-hoc EPP extension 
would be more complex than just allowing the EAI email addresses. In 
fact, clients/servers should send/receive an email address in the 
related EPP element.

Cheers,

Mario
