Facets

Hi,

Please pardon me if my question is not very clear. I am very new to the
XML/Schema language.

I have an XML document which contains the list of acceptable values (strings
or enum) for some elements, in addition to the elements themselves.  I need
to create a schema to validate this XML document. Is there a way to make the
validation process aware of these facets (on the fly, if you will).  I hope
the simple XML test file below clarifies my question.

Thank you,
-Farid
