Is there a tool to progressively refine the schema generated fromdiffere

 This is related to my previous question "Tool to create a Java class
from an XML document?"

I have seen and worked with simple XML Schema generation tools that
given an XML document generate one (of the many possible) schema of
which the given XML document is an instance.

However, often such a schema doesn't describe another XML document, of
which we think as representative of the same type.

We can use the tool and generate another schema for the second
document, then a 3rd schema for a 3rd document, and so on.

Is anybody aware of a tool that will take as input all N different
schemas generated and create from them a single schema that is the
"unification" (for a lack of better word) of all of them -- in other
words defines the type of all XML document instances.
