The place of xcb/proto (as I see it) is much like that of the OED:
Descriptive of current usage, not proscriptive.

Changing the protocol to conform better to xcb would be putting the
tail wagging the dog, IMHO.

As I noted in the commit comment, the Render extension already has a
<list> of enums.

You're right, associating an enum with an expression would probably be
insane. I'm not sure the extra work of prohibiting it in the XSD is
worth it, however.
