The specification doesn't mention that; it should.
I'm calling them EnumValue, but that makes it difficult to talk
about. The term "value" is commonly used to refer to an instance of a
type, so "enumeration value" sounds like an instance of the type
"enumeration", which is confusing.
Perhaps, since "collection" seems the right metaphor for an
enumeration, each of the values in an enumeration should be
EnumMember. On the assumption these might be basic types, though, that
name doesn't read so easily in lowercase ('enummember').
Thoughts?
