A conclusion, not necessarily a recommendationw as, that for a namespace with the given properties, wildcards are a not too well suited substitute for real provisioning. The 'Infrastructure ENUM' case can be different when you do not have a priori knowledge of the namespace's full structure. And, finally, RFC 4592 did not change the ENT specification. -Peter
