[DFDL-WG] How to ignore case and validate an element with an enumerated list

[Steve Hanson]

Yes that looks good. It will only parse the data though. Do you need to 
unparse? To unparse you will need dfdl:outputValueCalc="{../Type}" on 
MixedCaseType, and dfdl:outputValueCalc="{../Subtype}" on 
MixedCaseSubtype.

Mike came up with a solid solution to the problem I posted previously. 
While not quite as elegant as adding the “dfdl:ignoreElementCase=yes” 
property that I would prefer, it’s good enough.  Thanks, Mike!
 
Here’s the relevant parts:
 
    <xsd:complexType name="MimeTypeType">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:sequence dfdl:hiddenGroupRef="MixedCaseMimeTypeGroup"/>
            <!-- logical representation of the type and subtype, where 
xPath is used to convert all the characters to lower case -->
            <xsd:element name="Type" dfdl:inputValueCalc="{ 
fn:lower-case(../MixedCaseType) }">
                <xsd:annotation>
                    <xsd:appinfo source="http://www.ogf.org/dfdl/dfdl-1.0/
">
                        <dfdl:assert test="{ dfdl:checkConstraints(.) }"
                            message="The type must match one of the values 
on the enumerated list."/>
                    </xsd:appinfo>
                </xsd:annotation>
                <xsd:simpleType>
