 	<title>Overview</title>
 	<para>
 		Enum module implements [i_]enum_query functions that make an enum query
 		based on the user part of the current Request-URI. These functions
 		assume that the user part consists of an international phone number
 		of the form +decimal-digits, where the number of digits is at
 		least 2 and at most 15. Out of this number
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> forms a domain name,
 		where the digits are in reverse order and separated by dots followed by
 		domain suffix that by default is <quote>e164.arpa.</quote>. For example,
 		if the user part is +35831234567, the domain
 		name will be <quote>7.6.5.4.3.2.1.3.8.5.3.e164.arpa.</quote>.
 		<function moreinfo="none">i_enum_query</function> operates in a similar
 		fashion. The only difference is that it adds a label (default "i")
 		to branch off from the default, user-ENUM tree to an infrastructure ENUM tree.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		After forming the domain name,
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> queries
 		DNS for its NAPTR records. From the possible response
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> chooses those records,
 		whose flags field has string value "u", and whose services field has
 		string value "e2u+[service:]sip" or
 		"e2u+type[:subtype][+type[:subtype]...]" (case is ignored in both
 		cases), and whose regexp field is of the form !pattern!replacement!.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		Then <function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> sorts the chosen
 		NAPTR records based on their &lt;order, preference&gt;.  After sorting,
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> replaces the current
 		Request URI by applying regexp of the most preferred NAPTR record its
 		user part and appends to the request new branches by applying regexp of
 		each remaining NAPTR record to the user part of the
 		current Request URI. If a new URI is a tel URI,
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> appends to it as tel
 		URI parameters the value of tel_uri_params module parameter. Finally,
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> associates a q value
 		with each new URI based on the &lt;order, preference&gt; of the
 		corresponding NAPTR record.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		When using <function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> without any
 		parameters, it searches for NAPTRs with service type "e2u+sip" in the
 		default enum tree. When using
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> with a single parameter,
 		this parameter will be used as enum tree. When using
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function>
 		with two parameters, the functionality depends on the first letter in
 		the second parameter. When the first letter is not a '+' sign, the
 		second parameter will be used to search for NAPTRs with service type
 		"e2u+parameter:sip". When the second parameter starts with a '+' sign,
 		the ENUM lookup also supports compound NAPTRs
 		(e.g. "e2u+voice:sip+video:sip") and searching for multiple service
 		types within one lookup. Multiple service types must be separeted
 		by a '+' sign.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		Most of the time you want to route based on the RURI.  On rare occasions
 		you may wish to route based on something else. The function
 		<function moreinfo="none">enum_pv_query</function> mimics the behavior
 		of the <function moreinfo="none">enum_query</function> function except the
 		E.164 number in its pseudo variable argument is used for the enum lookup instead of the user
 		part of the RURI.  Obviously the user part of the RURI is still used in the
 		NAPTR regexp.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		Enum query returns 1 if the current Request URI was replaced
 		and -1 if not.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		In addition to standard ENUM, support for ISN (ITAD Subscriber
 		Numbers) is provided as well. To allow ISN lookups to resolve,
 		a different formatting algorithm is expected by the DNS server.
 		Whereas a ENUM NAPTR record expects a DNS query of the form
 .8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1.<suffix>, ISN method expects a DNS query of
 		the form 6.5.1212.<suffix>. That is, a valid ISN number includes
 		a prefix of '56' in the example. The rest of the number is a
 		ITAD (Internet Telephony Administrative Domain) as defined
 		in RFCs 3872 and 2871, and as allocated by the IANA in
 		http://www.iana.org/assignments/trip-parameters. The ITAD is
 		left intact and not refersed as ENUM requires. To learn more
 		about ISN please refer to documents at www.freenum.org.
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		To complete a ISN lookup on the user part of the Request-URI,
 		isn_query() is used instead of enum_query().
 	</para>
 	<para>
 		Enum module also implements is_from_user_enum function.
 		This function does an enum lookup on the from user and
 		returns true if found, false otherwise.
