There isn't one as far as I know. This is a self-evident truth that
shouldn't need to be documented. However there is usually a
requirement from the regulator that ENUM registrations are
authenticated and validated. If that applies, it follows that ENUM
entries in that country have to be for assigned numbers that conform
to the national numbering plan.

I've no idea. It shouldn't be in an update to RFC3761 IMO. That would
take the IETF into the rathole of defining what "ownership" of an
E.164 number meant. I'm not sure this requirement should be globally
documented since it concerns a National Matter. Perhaps the regulator
should issue something?
