Why do I create numbers in enum which doesn't exist as pstn ?

A simple example:

My "pstn number" is +43-1-1234567. Everybody around the world can call
me using this number.
Lets say, I have 3 extensions: 0=reception, 10=secretary, 20=boss.

If someone calls

ENUMLOOKUP(+4311234567) he will get a uri "sip:0 at ip.of.my.asterisk"
ENUMLOOKUP(+43112345670) he will get a uri "sip:0 at ip.of.my.asterisk"
ENUMLOOKUP(+431123456710) he will get a uri "sip:sec at ip.of.my.asterisk"
or "sip:10 at ip.of.my.asterisk" (which ever you prefer)
ENUMLOOKUP(+431123456720) he will get a uri "sip:boss at ip.of.my.asterisk"
or "sip:20 at ip.of.my.asterisk"

All this numbers exist because they connect to different persons. Why
shouldn't that be the idea behind enum?
