/// \brief
/// FdoXmlFeatureFlags extends FdoXmlFlags to specify flags specific to feature 
/// serialization.
/// \remarks
/// The Error Levels inherited from FdoXmlFlags take on the following meaning when
/// applied to features. Suppose we have GML Document A that conforms to GML Schema A.
/// If Document A is read into FDO and then written to Document B then the Error Levels
/// applied to the Document A read have the following meaning:
/// <ul>
///    <li>ErrorLevel_High: Document B will be structurally identical to Document A.
///    Errors are issued if this cannot be guaranteed. Document B will have the 
///    exact same elements and attributes as Document A.
///    <li>ErrorLevel_Normal: There is no information loss. Document B contains
///    all of the information from Document A and Document B conforms to Schema A.
///    Errors are issued if this cannot be guaranteed.
///    However, Documents A and B might not look exactly alike; some Document A elements
///    may have an equivalent but different structure in Document B.
///    <li>ErrorLevel_Low: There can be information loss. Document B is a subset
///    of Document A but still conforms to Schema A. Errors are issued if 
///    this cannot be guaranteed. Any Document A elements, not recognized by
///    FDO, are discarded on read.
///    <li>ErrorLevel_VeryLow: FDO does a best effort read of Document A and write of
///    Document B. There is no guarantee that Document B will look anything like 
///    Document A or that Document B will conform to Schema A.
/// </ul>
///    
/// The above assumes that FDO is not provided the GML form of Schema A when writing
/// Document B. For example, supposed that FDO can write a Schema A conformant 
/// Document B only when supplied the GML version of Schema A. FDO will still generate 
/// errors and fail to read Document A under ErrorLevel_Low.
