I'd start off settling for just a subset of xsd.  There are too many 
features that are so hard to understand and implement that no three (and 
sometimes no two) schema validators agree on their validity.  Even 
though you are not doing validation, that indicates how hard some of the 
features can be to understand.

Also, don't forget about handling schema imports, and differences 
between default qualified and default unqualified elements.

Cheers,
