This looks like a good point, although it is also possible to use
@combine to add values to an enumeration in case of other options.

For example,

<choice>
  <enumeration type="xsd:token">
    <value>foo</value>
    <value>bar</value>
  </enumeration>
  
  <enumeration type="xsd:token">
    <value>additional</value>
  </enumeration>
</choice>


Another advantage of the option (b) is that <value> element is very
close to the current <string> element. So it will make migration from
TREX easier.

Maybe we can even keep the tag name as <string>. I think

<string type="xsd:integer">  52  </string>

makes sense.
