Specifying numbers as attribute values

I'll describe two cases

First case :

<!ELEMENT driver  (#PCDATA )>
<!ATTLIST driver flag (1|2) #REQUIRED>

Second Case :

<!ELEMENT driver  (#PCDATA )>
<!ATTLIST driver flag ("1"|"2") #REQUIRED>

It is not working in both the cases. Please throw
some light on this. Thank U.

CU,

Malliks
