Obviously you're free to seek any interface that meets your needs, but I'd 
point out that the schema recommendation [1] gives you two kinds of 
"annotation":

1) <xs:documentation> which "is intended for human consumption"

2) <xs:appinfo> which is intended "for automatic processing"

So, while it's perfectly reasonable to want to see information from 
<xs:documentation> in some API for certain purposes, it's probable that 
<xs:appinfo> is closer to what you would use if you intend schema 
information to be provided to your application.  Of course, that 
immediately leaves you with a question analagous to your original one, 
which is whether your databinding tool provides access to that either. 
FWIW, additional attributes on schema document markup are another source 
of appinfo-like information.
