I had this problem too (though working in Perl), as documented a month or
so ago on this list.

All of the schema-aware tools I could find perform validation, but don't
really give good access to schema information from the document nodes.

What I ended up doing is parsing the schema documents into DOM objects,
harvesting the type declarations, their hierarchy, and their context, and
then using that as I went through the document.  I'm only using a subset
of schema, so this wasn't too hard, but a similar approach might work for
you.
