I don't, either.  Both of the above references are to Microsoft's
*public* documentation, so I would happily accept any patch for our
<sdkddkver.h>, which is based on either.  That Microsoft have chosen, in
one of them, to express the value assignments to manifest constant names
in the form of C "#define" statements is immaterial; the effect is no
different from a name-to-value tabulated mapping.
