Description

The (superceded, older) proposal for enumerations and typeValueCalc is here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Proposal:+Feature+to+support+enumerations+and+typeValueCalc

There are comments on this wiki page about ways it can/should be simplified before we really start exploiting it in generated schemas that make extensive use of enums.

The mechanism should be revised so that far simpler expression of enums can be achieved that avoids the need for complex types.

The simplified current proposal is here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Proposal%3A+Simplified+Feature+to+Support+Enumerations
