And Murray has augmented my post with his indubitable wisdom.
Notwithstanding the two of us, though, there are at least one or two
stylesheet-based xsd documenters or visualizers. I forget their names
just now, but they might be a very good starting point for practical
ways to root around in xsd schemas.
