In past I have been involved in several projects that involved quite
massive automated schema processing and refactoring. Although my time is
limited (whose isn't? ;-) I'm happy to help you with developing system
for maintaining and generating schemas.

Maybe it is only nitpicking but having union of single type is wrong in
XML schema IMHO. It is of course purely OK in algebra or you can do such
things in schema languages like RELAX NG where schema is composed from
patterns which are then "normalized/simplified" and such excessive
artifacts are lost during this process.

But XML schema doesn't have such mechanism and union of single type is
not the same as this single type alone. This can make OOXML object model
more complex in databinding tools.
