To me, this means that the current state of the fee extension is
somewhat inconsistent, since it does include balance information in some
contexts but not in others. Either it is a purely fee related extension
(in which case the balance/credit limit features should be removed
altogether), or it's a general extension dealing with all billing issues
(in which case a query feature should be added).

The Balance Mapping in the EPP Extension Registry looks like a viable
option, we'd consider implementing it if it became an IETF standard.
