Mike,
I'm not keen on the idea of doing such queries via either RRP or what will
become the generic protocol because of the potentially huge amount of
information that can be returned. Client buffer sizes measured in megabytes
wouldn't be uncommon.
The GRRP draft describes an authorization mechanism that gives domain name
holders an authorization key that they must provide to the requesting
registrar to initiate a transfer. This should allow the losing registrar to
process the request without human intervention because all they'll need to
do is compare information provided in the request with archived information
known only to the registrant and the losing registrar.

This suggestion sounds like a good idea. However, it does provide another
means for some Registrars to abuse the system. There should be a way for
domain holders to acknowledge a transfer away from the losing Registrar
without the losing Registrar having to involve a customer service person.
How about an RRP method which returns a list of all pending transfer
requests away from the Registrar? It would then be a matter of programming
to have a maintenance procedure to send out transfer notices to the domain
holders and if they don't respond within the required 120 hours, auto-NAK
the transfer request (if that's the policy the Registrar wants to
implement).
I'm not a fan of the current mechanisms which rely on reports, e-mails and
human intervention (on the part of the Registrars). I believe as much
information as possible should be provided via the RRP.
