so you dont think the telephone number is the object ?

I see your example

http://enumquery.com/lookup?e164=%2B43+780+004711

could be marked up as 

<div class="vcard">
<h2>ENUM lookup results for <span class="fn"><span class="adr tel">+43 780 004711</span></span></h2>

</div>

I understand you Charles it doesn't seem appropriate to use fn in this
way but the telephone number here does not represent a person does it?
it seems to be many people or an organisation.
