All Registries whether thick or thin have the authinfo already, it's not 
needed for "adding contacts"

There are 2 main issues with the escrow files - format of the data and 
it not necessarily being the data you want passed to the registry

* the standard for escrow data means it's not obvious/possible/reliable 
to determine city/state type information when it's compacted into 1 
field

* if the contact data is to be privacy/proxied, the privacy data is what 
you want in the registry whois, not the "real" data which is what is in 
the escrow files

Both of those are ultimately solvable though, many of us have 
successully pulled in escrow data as registrars over the years, and the 
privacy issue could be coded around easily, but they impacts enough 
registrars and registrations that I fully understand not going that 
route
