Which isn't to say #1, #2 or #3 are bad or inappropriate for some 
users ... but if you work with #4 then you can create the others from that.

For example, the UBL committee synthesized XSD files from genericode 
files for use by those who need XSD enumerations even though the UBL 
committee isn't using XSD enumerations:

Genericode:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0-update/cl/gc/default/PaymentMeansCode-2.0.gc
XSD:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.0-update/cl/xsdcl/default/PaymentMeansCode-2.0.xsd
