I prefer the enumeration facet, since it does not care about special regex characters.

Hi Folks,

 

Below are two XML Schema element declarations. Both enumerate a set of values for the <type> element. The first uses the pattern facet to enumerate the set of values. The second uses the enumeration facet. Is there a reason to prefer one over the other? Or, are they identical for all practical purposes?  /Roger
