Given Francisco's suggestion, would it be worth teasing each of these out into separate drafts? That way ICANN can say that it's regulated registries support must support RFC 1, RFC 2, RFC 3, while other registries can simply say "we support RFC 1 and RFC 3". Or maybe put the domain name lookup in its own draft and the rest in a draft intended as a collection of the other things ICANN registries must do. Just a thought.

No matter what, I think registrar-by-name should be a separate draft as it seems like a search and not a lookup.
