I found a convertor that does everything else *but* this at 
http://xml.coverpages.org/Trang200301.html
It will convert between most anything, except that it won't take 
schema as input to convert to other things.

Sun apparently has a tool, though, at 
http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2001-10-17-b.html, that will convert xml 
schema into relax/ng; so piping that into the one above should 
theoretically do it..... anybody up to giving it a try?
