That'd work and explain why nobody lives in the Neutral Zone.

As I understand, B&B had a treatment worked out for an 11th Star Trek movie that was to take place during the first Romulan attack on Earth, while the NX-01 is too far away from home to respond. Naturally, when Paramount pulled the plug on ENT, that movie idea went bye-bye.

I completely agree.
