I don't know if anyone is working on XML Schema support, but your
message gave me the impetus to go to www.w3.org to take a look at the
working drafts.

To my horror, the two parts of the XML schema WDs are 520K and 360K of
HTML; that's huge!  (XML 1.0 is 188K.)  Didn't people want schemas
because they thought DTD syntax was too complicated?
