As you DNS persons (yes, David included ;-) there are several very
"unpleasant" discussions about keys, certificates in DNS at the moment.
Appkey being one. CERT record being another. (Re-)use of KEY record for
non-DNSSEC issues etc.

I suggest ENUM should follow the result/outcome in that discussion, and
throw yet another log into the fire.

Part from this, I think ENUM as a mechanism for storing pointers to
"things". The pointers are in the form of URI's. So, one can with ENUM have
in DNS a pointer (URI) to the cert one want to expose.

This I think is perfectly alright.
