> Some schemas have large simple type unions that combine enumerations with many members, and numeric ranges.
> Translation between numeric values, and symbolic values (strings), is desirable.

> Under review by the DFDL Workgroup, it was observed that these features require validation processing, and that was considered problematic given that validation is an optional feature of DFDL.�� However, the dfdl:checkConstraints function is not optional - excepting that the whole expression language is optional. So it is reasonable to add these features to an implementation that has either validation or dfdl:checkConstraints().
