In http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/whoisTF/20020625.TFwhois-report.htm
(an awfully bloated MS HTML file)
it is written:
...  and the results therefore do not take into account new
marketplace realities brought by the introduction of these TLDs
which, in general, provide centralized WHOIS data, in a standardized
(EPP) format.

This is the only sentence where you find the word EPP

This is why I said it is just an error I think . Like I said earlier,
I think that for non technical people, right now, EPP = thick
Registries = centralized whois.

I totally agree (I also participate in Provreg ;-)).
