[enum-wg] ENUM contact info should show up in LDAP

Hi,

Thanks for the candid opinion.

LDAP is reasonably well-integrated with clients all over the place, ENUM is not.  It's a matter of bringing the information to the end users who can see its utility.

Technically, you are probably right.  Except that LDAP is not heavy at all.

> User ENUM-based applications and services using DNS have pretty much flopped. How would new stuff based on LDAP change that?

Getting users to easily fetch the contact data…  and for the publisher, it has the advantage of updating the primal data and all users would automatically update.  A great saving on updating contact lists.
