Jim,

  even if the overlay is running on some secret server used just for the
internal telco operations, there's at least one big problem left - 
the private tree overlays the public ENUM tree making it inaccessible
and unusable. However, if the intrastructure ENUM is sitting in
some other domain, both are accessible and it's a matter of local policy
in which order they get consulted.

Well, but The question is whether IETF should recommend/advice/support
such silly implementations.
