This is the major reason why +87810 is still not up and running. If you use a national number, the number can at least by routed via the country as a default.

Wether you have issues with non-geographical E.164 or not depends a lot of what regulation there is on E.164 numbers in the country code you want numbers in. Other examples of issues include portability to other providers.

Example: Sweden (+46) require portability between providers of voice services, but do not have geographical portability (yet). This imply if you as an operator in Sweden you have to allow people to move their number both to and from you.

Which is exactly the way the US and Canada works but we have have a flat numbering space which means you can take your wire line and port to wireless as well. Patrik remind me .. does Sweden use a Database model or is it simply call forwarding form the originating carriers Switch .

My point is not that your idea is wrong, but that you have to take into account a number of different issues...

Can you be more specific on what the rules are for E.164 numbers in your neck of the woods?
