Not yet, apparently.

The difference is not so important, for instance, both could be used
to have the status of a domain name, which is sent by Crisp's protocol
as well as by Provreg's protocol.

Since it will be necessary to write a completely new client anyway,
for the Crisp's protocol, adding SRV support would not be the most
difficult thing.

The third one was not about the charters of the two WG but about the
actual protocols EPP and IRIS. It was a concern that the two WG are
making new protocols from scratch instead on relying on an existing
infrastructure, like Web services (XML-RPC or SOAP). (The LDAP
proposal in crisp is of course immune from this criticism.)
