XML Schema describes what will be allowed in XML instances. It can either
be GREEN (e.g., as a string) or 1001 (as an integer). The fact that GREEN
means 1001 is an application-specific logic. So I suggest that you simply
translate enum symbols to numbers (or to C enumerators) in your
application. Though this can be a major inconvenience if you are using
XML data binding and the tool generates C/C++ enums that start from 0.
