          Required a SimpleIdentifier for the expression value:

          <Annotation Term="org.example.Color" EnumMember="Yellow" />

          <Annotation Term="org.example.Color">
          <EnumMember>Yellow</EnumMember>
          </Annotation>

          An alternative would have been to allow (or even require) a Qualified name:

          <Annotation Term="org.example.Color" EnumMember="org.example.ColorType.Yellow" />

          <Annotation Term="org.example.Color">
          <EnumMember>org.example.ColorType.Yellow</EnumMember>
          </Annotation>

          But I assume that real cases are rare when the EnumType definition is known and the Term definition using that EnumType definition is not.
