The only practical use I know of is inside an organisation that only
runs Asterisk or Asterisk based systems, apart from that dundi was too
limiting since nothing else supports it as far I'm aware.

The same problem with BGP occurs in dundi, it assumes everyone is
trusted, which is why in the real would its only likely to work inside
an organisation, or at least being in a position to beat others over the
head in a similar fashion as some of the really big telcos can if BGP
gets messed with in a bad way.

They're also welcome to stick the route information in the e164.org zone
