It's not just that case. The Austrian numbering plan has related issues, if I'm understanding correctly. And no doubt other countries too. > This is not an ENUM issue - it's a general issue with that particular > part of that country's number plan. It's also an issue of how to get dial plan information out to everyone who might possibly need it. That needs to be a pull system, not a push one, since there will be far too many potential users to keep a master list; we don't even know who all those users might be. It needs to allow for delegated databases rather than requiring a single authoritative source who has to update everything, since we don't know how often updates will happen (often in Austria, I believe). It ought to allow for cacheing. And it ought not to require everything to be downloaded again just because one leaf of the tree has changed. Remind you of anything? -- Clive D.W.
