Re:  Literate Programming ... Literate XML Schema?

Michael Sperberg-McQueen has written a number of schemas this way, see 
for example

http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd

(be prepared to wait 30 seconds for the W3 server to respond, access is 
deliberately throttled).

What you see is a client-side XSLT rendition of the schema; use view 
source to view the original.
