Florian:

	I have created a really simple XSLT stylesheet to pull the
documentation out of a schema for my own use.  I will be glad to share it
with you.  You will need to customize it based on the <xsd:appinfo>
element. An example of the output is:

    http://www.eccnet.com/sil/ABCD_documentation.html

	I don't know if any other generalized tool.  XML Spy does a pretty
good job, except it puts everything into a single file which makes the
documentation unusable because of the sheer size of the file.  I have
written an XSLT to take XML Spy output and create a navigatable frame
presentation.
