Thought about it, never got around to it. And I'm not aware of any Python
package that handles XML Schema in any way.

If you do this, I hope you will share your work with the community. I 
imagine many people would be interested.

By the way, has it occurred to you that your XML object serialization
stuff could be more flexible, and probably lose little or nothing in 
performance, if you used dictionaries for attributes instead of hard-
coding their names?
