Such a mechanism simply does not work when:
<draft-iab-dns-applications-00>
In these
plans, a telephone switch ordinarily cannot anticipate when a dialed
number is complete, as only the terminating customer premise
equipment (typically a private branch exchange) knows how long a

If the number portability database operated by telephone operators
can eve exist, it is impossible that CPEs operated by subscribers
determine the length of telephone numbers.
