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 . . . . . . . .
