Summary0007269: StructureType asymmetry of new enumeration values
Description

In Table 33 StructureType Values,

1.05 RC review from Herbert Oppmann:

I understand, that new values are required in this enumeration to ensure that existing V1.04 clients do not try to interpret this new V1.05 feature. But why this asymmetry to not have Structures with optional fields with subtyping (even if this combination is currently not required)?
If it is because of the fixed layout of StructureField structure, I am not sure whether this is necessary. If existing V1.04 clients stop at the new values here, we could modify the layout for the three new values by inserting a new field allowSubtypes, thereby creating symmetry to the XML NodeSet (part 6) as well?!

After review we concluded the values of the StructureTypes are arbitrary and no "symmetry" should be expected nor should any numeric interpretation of the select values be done.
If "Structures with optional fields with subtyping" is added in some future version it will be assigned the next available numeric value.
