Sorry, but why would RDAP be used for this?

I know that whois is used by a lot of people for this, but it really shouldn’t be. Only a direct EPP query to the registry can give a “sane” response. 

What am I missing?

Regards

Michele

    As it turns out, there's not much needed to achieve this. This draft
    suggests two new query parameters and re-uses the current RDAP domain
    query. In other words, its a very small addition to RDAP.
