We routinely use directory services in a multiplicity of forms -- telephone books published by local telephone companies or entrepreneurs, 411 services in various shapes and forms, web pages, or even on CD-ROMs (indeed a well known Supreme Court case involved a telephone directory published on CD-ROM).
yes, and multiple directory services are a great thing. However, when I dial +1.310.642.0351 it reaches the same number no matter where the call originates, in what phone network, who my LD carrier is, who my local telco is, or how many switches it passes through on the way. Multiple equally valid 'root zones' will most certainly give rise to a situation analogous to calling a phone number and having it ring at different destinations depending on the point of origin.
