Actually the OSP spec does support this functionality, but the OSP module
does not. I will have to study how to implement this feature in the OSP
module. Can you please suggest additional use cases that would need this
type of functionality.

Yes you are correct, tokens are not required. Destinations with tokens
would be trusted and destinations without tokens would be untrusted. ENUM
route discovery combined with OSP tokens is a good idea.
