Vlad,
Some time ago I wrote a generic Haskell data type to XML/XSD
library[1]. It was based on an old singleton version of the
multirec[2] generic programming library. I never released any of it
because it is not really usable in a serious setting but you might
want to look at it for some inspiration.
Generic programming is *really* useful when it comes to managing XML
from Haskell.

Hello everyone,
I am writing to judge interest in a Summer of Code proposition: an XML
Schema[1] implementation, described as a possbile application here[2].
As both a tool and an inspiration, I intend to use HaXML[3].
More specifically, I would be interested in the degree the Haskell
community uses XML Schema, and if you were tempted to use it if we had
an implementation. To further expand the question, how useful do you
consider each of these components:
* a validator
* a pretty-printer
* a translator from XML Schema to Haskell, similar to DtdToHaskell[4]
For the latter item, some runtime checking will definitely be
required:
restrictions such as value ranges for integers or minimum and maximum
occurences of an element cannot, to my knowledge, be enforced through
type definitions. Finally, I kindly ask anyone with relevant
experience
to point out other possible pitfalls.
