When devising this at NICC we did consider several alternatives. Using NAPTR records in DNS was ultimately chosen for several reasons, the most compelling of which is because it's simply optimally efficient if you're already doing a DNS lookup for NAPTR records in an ENUM-like tree to get back a Send-N record immediately rather than have to issue a second lookup request (whether that request be another protocol or a DNS query with a different QTYPE). Granted this isn't faithful to the public ENUM dogma that says that lookups should only be done on full numbers. However this isn't intended for public ENUM. Ray
