There are basically two ends to the enum business: who you put in charge
of maintaining the mappings for your numbers, and who you ask to find
out the mapping for a specified number. The competition is about how
good a job you can do of making sure that an enum transaction for a
given phone number actually returns the mapping selected by the owner of
that phone number. I believe it is entirely possible that some systems
can make a better job of that than others.
