OLStyle should be enumeration?

In all the XHTML 1.0 schemas (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1-schema/)
OLStyle type is defined as a xs:string.  In the documentation, it is
clear that it can only take 5 values.

Why isn't it defined as an enumeration? Is there a reason or is it an
oversight?

Suggested correction is below:
<xs:simpleType name="OLStyle">
      <xs:annotation>
        <xs:documentation>
        Ordered list numbering style

        1   arabic numbers      1, 2, 3, ...
        a   lower alpha         a, b, c, ...
        A   upper alpha         A, B, C, ...
        i   lower roman         i, ii, iii, ...
        I   upper roman         I, II, III, ...

        The style is applied to the sequence number which by default
        is reset to 1 for the first list item in an ordered list.
        </xs:documentation>
      </xs:annotation>
      <xs:restriction base="xs:token">
	<xs:enumeration value="1"/>
	<xs:enumeration value="a"/>
	<xs:enumeration value="A"/>
	<xs:enumeration value="i"/>
	<xs:enumeration value="I"/>
      </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>
