As I wrote in a previous email, people won't enter every possible type
of enum service and how they can be contacted.

This isn't how these services are used now, and I don't see it happening
in future for 2 simple reasons, people are lazy, and more importantly
what if I use MSN at work and at home, I use the MS client at work which
supports all the bells and whistles, yet at home I use gaim which
doesn't, yet both instances I use the same login details but I can't be
bothered updating DNS 2 or more times a day just to update what the
current client abilities are.

While it might be possible to get some clients to interact with some
enum roots, I doubt they will interact with all so people may in some
cases be left doing manual updates and this just won't happen, so a
simple I can be contacted by MSN with these details are the best way to
attack this problem due to people being lazy.

So if you make things too complicated people will end up ignoring enum
completely and just falling back to what they already know and use all
the time which makes this whole exercise a complete waste of time.
