It's called the Extensible Provisioning Protocol, as opposed to the Registrar-Registry Protocol (RRP) used by VeriSign for COM and NET gTLDs. It allows for real-time updating at the TLD root and the registry Whois database (usually about 10 minutes of lag time). It's deployed for .org, .info, .biz, and the various sponsored TLDs including .pro, .name, .coop, and .aero. The CN and US ccTLDs also use it.
I believe the benefits of EPP are enormous and outweigh any negative consequences for spammers. Is it perfect? No, probably not. But neither is RRP, which can create up to 24 hours of down time, or at the very least it creates different outputs for visiting Web site users (depending on which NS they get during propagation), due to a change in the name server and frustrates the domain or Web site owner to no end.
Should EPP be repealed? Absolutely not. In fact, I would encourage a more rapid transition to EPP for COM and NET.
Cheers,
Doug

Actually, EPP and RRP have nothing specifically to do with the frequency of DNS updates as they are both protocols for the provisioning (not publication) of domain name data. Other protocols and mechanical zone publication mechanisms are used to publish the domain data within the DNS.
