Regarding ENUM, I suspect the presentation we want is probably that the
TargetID is the (normalized form of the) string the user typed, i.e.
tel:+1234567890; even if my call was redirected via ENUM to
sip:secretary at office.example.com, the string I should be saving in my address
book is tel:+1234567890? Or is there a requirement or expectation I'm missing
that means we shouldn't do this?

(Analogy: if I type example.com into any network client, there's a
permanent-up-to-TTL mapping to 192.0.32.10, but that doesn't mean I should be
displaying 192.0.32.10 in my UI, or saving it, or using it preferentially; if I
connect my XMPP client to gmail.com, there's a permanent-up-to-TTL mapping via
SRV to talk.l.google.com, but that doesn't mean I should be remembering that
hostname.)

We could perhaps have an informational property on the Channel for "this is who
you're actually talking to" if that information is actually needed? (Hmm, looks
a lot like channel-specific handles... or XMPP resources, if you look at it
sideways.)
