Probably, but maintaining it apparently is not.

Again, this is for dumb DTMF phones, not smart phones.

Yes, but that's ITU-T territory.

Automatically generating Send-N records based on the local ENUM tree 
structure allows (I-)ENUM operators to publish real-time number plan 
pseudo-data without their ever needing to be reference to a "master" 
ITU-T/Regulator number plan.

The master number plan information only needs to be consulted locally to 
figure out whether any given E.164 number is allowed to be put in the ENUM 
database in the first place.
