    The problem with this is that the codelists tend to be very long at the
    schema level but much more restricted at the instance level (after
    application of context). In other words, my currency list might contain 100
    items, but in reality for my specific application only 5 are likely. So
    using enumerations to generate forms directly from a schema with nice
    dropdown lists for the codelists isn't all that advantageous. You still need
    a mechanism for specifying which items from the huge grab bag of choices is
    actually needed for the application. That's why I think it might be
    worthwhile to reject the idea of enumeration altogether and just go with
    appInfo. Maybe we could use our context mechanism to create more manageable
    context-specific enumerations in the schema...
