 * In the OSxL schemas there is a growing number of string elements that can only take  *
 * a small number of values. In C++ this can be implemented using enumerations, but the *
 * elements appear in the schemas as strings, so they must be stored internally         *
 * as strings also. Below we list the enumerations and provide two utility methods      *
 * that make working with them convenient:                                              *
 * return...() functions that return the integer value associated with that enumeration *
 * verify...() functions that check that a string has a legal value for the enumeration *
