In lieu of that, here's that information (the 'transfer status log')
that I get while transferring my _other_ domain to iwantmyname:

The transfer of unixmercenary.net is currently in progress. The transfer
email has been confirmed and your request is being submitted to the
registry.

In this case, the incumbent (old) registrar DirectNIC sent me mail about 
an hour later (just received) acknowledging the pending transfer request
to iwantmyname, saying they're sorry to see me go, and explaining that 
they're holding the transfer to Sat. March 5th:  If I don't say 'Eek,
no, block that' by then, it'll then go through.  (This is perfectly
reasonable, and a safeguard against mishap or domainjacking.)
