There are still many commercial and self developed solutions out in the field 
which are "connecting" registrars to registries in the ICANN world, IANA / 
RIRs and the most i've seen around was two "quasi standards"

- - email based robots / service interfaces - working with "email templates" 
- are widely spread and available on most of them i've seen until today.

- - less often: XML by HTTP(s)

Emails usually could be signed with PGP/GnuPG or MD5 hashes are sent with 
them in a "auth" field.

If OpenNIC want's to be open to the existing world of domain providers, 
registrars and their applications i hardly could recommend to start with a 
email service interface which could be implemented as easy as typical web 
services too.


cheers,


Niels.
