Enum is going to be trouble. As well as moving the entire package (which 
may brake existing code), you need to add enum to the list of reserved 
words that WSDL knows about when naming things. Which will also break 
anything that imports WSDL where enum came out as a method, field, etc.

That does not mean that we cannot do it, just that it needs to be 
documented as a 'known incompatibility between Axis 1.1 and 1.2' (or 1.2 
and 1.3, depending on where the change goes)

And that is the big question really: when does the change go in?
