> Enums are allowed in an entity model, but their semantics are not defined. We need to define semantics and serialization for each format. For example:
> -Are they serialized as their underlying type or the enumeration value name (I would propose the later). 
> -How are enumeration values specified in expressions (I propose as name rather than underlying value)
> -How are flags expressed for enumeration values? (I propose defining the use of the pipe (|) character for this purpose in the ABNF)
> -Can multiple enumeration values have the same underlying value (i.e., as aliases) (I propose yes).
> -Can the underlying type be a non-integral type (I don't see the need if the URL syntax and serialization formats uses the enumeration value name)
> We need a single proposal that defines all the additional text required to fully support enumerations.
