Methinks you're looking at an outdated version of the specification. The
most recent published specifications cleared up some confusing aspects of
how ROIDs are used with contacts and domains. I have new documents going to
the I-D administrator later today to clear up some addition ROID use issues.
ROIDs are created and assigned by a registry, not a registrar, when an
object is registered. No registrar controls a ROID, duplicates can't be
assigned, and they don't get changed or updated. They exist only as an
identifier that is guaranteed to be unique across registries.
