The semantics get really confusing if you use attributes for
this: you really want nesting IMHO.  I'd suggest

  <specialfield name="child" type="WINDOW">
    <const name="NoWindow">0</const>
  </specialfield>

or the like.  The type would, of course, have to be enough to
make all the consts legal values of it.  Would this work, or
am I confused as usual?
