Ah, then that would be why I don't recall having the discussion.

Oh, that is something I personally don't agree with.  Using 
<xsd:enumeration> will block full application of the code list value 
validation methodology and I am of the opinion that this W3C Schema 
construct must not be used.  I have conceded its use for the ATG code 
lists only because I understand that is the way ATG has declared them 
and we had an obligation to use the ATG declarations (personally, I 
think there should be no <xsd:enumeration> construct in any of our schemas).

I can only support the January 2006 UBL 2 schema conventions where 
only the ATG code lists use <xsd:enumeration> and no other code list 
does so, and I hope that this remains to be true in all our future 
versions of the schemas.

But, again, I wasn't given the responsibility to review these aspects 
of the NDR so I had assumed the January 2006 UBL 2 conventions were 
still in place.  If it is true that the NDR does allow 
<xsd:enumeration> to be used for non-ATG code lists, then I strongly 
feel this must be removed to prevent its accidental application and 
the NDR strengthened to prohibit the use of <xsd:enumeration>.

Thanks for clarifying things for me, Sylvia.
