*grin* indeed. Questions to ponder in the still of the night!

Basically, cell operators, if they are particularly conscientious, register 
only REAL numbers . . . ones which do exist in their calling area. Such is 
the case in +44 - the operators try to keep up with the telcos, and enable 
all non-premium exchanges as they are created. It's a lot of work at times, 
especially for an entire country, but some of the process may be automated.

The generation of the nameserver records is automated here, but can take up 
to 30 minutes to rebuild on the current hardware, primarly due to the level 
of detail (or ganularity) that we are actually able to maintain.

Bogus numbers will probably continue to appear in the sinkhole report -
removing them would be a very high-energy approach.
