I took the "UA loose route" from the name of Jonathan's draft.

Yes, for backwards compatibility normal E2U+SIP NAPTRs might be
provisioned, too.  I expect this to be used mainly in controlled
environements like private SIP peering platforms (Infrastructure ENUM
or private ENUM) where one has a cleared picture on who will query such
records.

Correct, according to the original ENUM role model, the destination network
provisiones the ENUM NAPTRs pointing to its ingress elements.

Could you give an example? I have difficulties imaging the message flows
and routing logic when doing tel:-URI based calling. This paragraph is
unclear:

   The Target header, if present, represents the current target.  In the
   absence of the Target header, a receiving entity must assume that the
   Request-URI contains the current target.  Note that the Target header
   is not used for routing, it is just a means of presenting the current
   target to the receiving entity, information that otherwise would have
   been lost.

So which is it? Does the receiving entity evaluate the target: header or
the request-URI?
