Yes, but that won't necessarily prevent someone from including in an XML
document a value that is not supported by the enumeration list, without
regard to case. IOW, it would allow someone to include like "ZfH", which
is not on the intended enumeration list in any form (zfh, zFh, ZFH,
etc.)

The best approach may simply be to determine how case should be
supported (e.g. allow "dog" or "DOG", but not "DoG"), and list the
various combinations in the enumeration list.
