All, thanks for working on this! This type of information is invaluable! However, I think what I've noticed just from this short thread is that, while there is a short answer to almost all of these questions, there is almost always a longer answer as well. If both could be captured, I think that's the best of both worlds. Pointing to external resources for further information is always legit, as far as I'm concerned.

Simple enums work, its the mult-value enums <enum>a b c</enum> that barf, 'cos axis isnt generating the right proxy code.
