Expected Behavior

Contact setting changes should not trigger a re-create, as you can make these changes through the console UI and this resource doesn't actually support re-creation anyway.

Actual Behavior

Changing a contact email address triggers a re-create.

Steps to reproduce

Use the exact example provided on the resource documentation page to register a new domain
Change the contact email address and the plan will show the resource needs to be re-created

Important Factoids

Nothing atypical. You should be able to reproduce easily with the resource documentation example. Note the example has another issue where the nameservers show up as a re-create change as well (the last '.' character gets stripped during initial apply).
