To be clear: the goals of this draft cannot be met using only a registry of 
error codes.  The goal is to allow a
resolver to inform the user about the particular legal action (e.g. a 
particular lawsuit, warrant,
cease-and-desist letter, sanctions obligation, etc.) that caused the resolver 
to refuse a particular query.

It seemed to me the goal was for a resolver to use a browser vetted
hardcoded list of blocking providers, who are not neccessarilly the
DNS service providers?

Where my point is that a QNAME is already a unique identifier to use
with the browser's builtin trusted reporter sites. As the DNS resolver
response cannot be trusted anyway, and the trust is based on the browser
trust for the reporter site, just getting a DNS ENUM error is enough
to lookup the trusted reporter site with the QNAME submitted.

So I am not sure why a draft is needed? One reason I heard in the past
was that the reporter sites (or Lumens at least?) does not support
querying by QNAME but only by some internal reference number. But to
me that seems odd that a DNS resolver can make the QNAME -> reference
number, but a browser could not?
