the primary reason why this draft is aiming at Proposed Standard is that
the current regime as of RFC 3761 sets this threshold (or Experimental or BCP)
for ENUM service registration.
However, the draft has a normative reference to draft-guy-iax-05.txt,
aiming at Informational (NIT: the draft itself mentions Informational, too).
I've raised this in previous WG discussions.  Either a downref exemption
is requested - then it needs to be mentioned - or draft-guy-iax-05.txt
is expected to go to Standards Track and the ENUM service registration
has to wait.  Since draft-ietf-enum-enumservices-guide-16.txt is now
in Last Call, and provided it gets approved, it might just be easier to
withdraw the LC for the iax ENUM service and instead process it under the new
rules of Expert Review.
That also means there's little reason for said downref exemption.

NIT: the NAPTR representations should really use standard DNS parentheses
   for line continuation instead of "\".
