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
   telephone number needs to be.

where even telephone switches (thus, telephone operators) do not have
any knowledge on how many numbers should be dialed.

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.
