Well, as someone coming to enums from a C/C++ background, element is
the last thing I would have thought.  _My_ scale of intuitiveness is:

1) label (my normal vocabulary when talking about enums)
2) identifier [constant] (when talking spec-type jargon)

Never have I thought of the enum label as either a "value", or an
"element".  That's not to say anyone else hasn't thought of them
differently.  Obvously ;-)
