That's not true either Andy. There's a forest of disjoint trees out  
there. So many of those in group C have solved their immediate  
problem. But at the expense of even bigger problems of  
interconnecting name spaces with competitors who use different trees  
and/or name spaces.

And just because those guys don't come to the ENUM WG doesn't mean  
there isn't a problem. This is why I believe there's a role for the  
WG and the IESG/IAB to work out an apex (at the very least) for  
private infrastructure ENUM. If it's not the IETF that does this, who  
will? Or could?
