just to avoid misunderstandings: the article on our enum list was about
pitfalls with wildcards that co-exist with 'many' real entries that then
limit the coverage of the wildcard. A conclusion, not necessarily a
recommendationw as, that for a namespace with the given properties,
wildcards are a not too well suited substitute for real provisioning.
The 'Infrastructure ENUM' case can be different when you do not have a priori
knowledge of the namespace's full structure.
And, finally, RFC 4592 did not change the ENT specification.
