Ed, although not speaking for me, basically hit the nail.  "send-n" isn't
an ENUM Service, i.e. it isn't anything that you look up to support a
communication initiation. Instead, you'd actually look for a "real" service
and only use "send-n" in the absence of such, where this NAPTR would
conveniently be put into the response, since you asked for this specific,
RR type.  In turn, the pstndata URI doesn't identify a resource but is
a hack to encode arbitrary information in a place where a URI is expected.
This fulfills syntax requirements, nothing else.
