Hi Larry, your parser is correct to disallow "[" in an enumerated type.
Each enumeration value must be a token that satisfies the NmToken
production, which consists only of NameChar characters. See
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-NameChar
As for the parser allowing a default value containing the "[" - this is a
bug.
