XSD schemas are represented as XML documents so you can process them with
XSLT as any other XML document.
Please note that your sample schema is not wellformed and even if the
wellformed errors are corrected it is not valid. You can find the corrected
schema below.

You may find interesting the XS3P schema documentation generator that is
basically a stylesheet that applied on a schema generates a comprehensive
XHTML documentation: http://titanium.dstc.edu.au/xml/xs3p/ .

You can also find below a sample stylesheet that will give you the following
output:

    FIX/RECORD
          Sequence of {
              X_SPHERICAL
              Y_SPHERICAL
              Z_SPHERICAL
              FIX_ID
                minLength 3 maxLength 12

              MAG_DECLINATION
                minInclusive -90.0 maxInclusive 90.0

            }


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

    <xsl:output method="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="xs:element[@name='RECORD' and
ancestor::xs:element/@name='FIX']">
        <xsl:text>FIX/RECORD</xsl:text>
       <xsl:apply-templates mode="showContent"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="xs:sequence" mode="showContent">
        <xsl:text>Sequence of {</xsl:text>
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="showContent"/>
        <xsl:text>}</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="xs:element" mode="showContent">
        <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="showContent"/>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="xs:restriction/*" mode="showContent">
        <xsl:value-of select="local-name(.)"/>
        <xsl:text xml:space="preserve"> </xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
        <xsl:text xml:space="preserve"> </xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*" mode="showContent">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="showContent"/>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>



Your input schema after applying some corrections looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb">
  <xs:element name="FIX" xdb:defaultTable="FIX_TAB">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="RECORD">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="X_SPHERICAL" type="xs:integer"/>
              <xs:element name="Y_SPHERICAL" type="xs:integer"/>
              <xs:element name="Z_SPHERICAL" type="xs:integer"/>
              <xs:element name="FIX_ID">
                <xs:simpleType>
                  <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
                    <xs:minLength value="3"/>
                    <xs:maxLength value="12"/>
                  </xs:restriction>
                </xs:simpleType>
              </xs:element>
              <xs:element name="MAG_DECLINATION">
                <xs:simpleType>
                  <xs:restriction base="xs:float">
                    <xs:minInclusive value="-90.0"/>
                    <xs:maxInclusive value="90.0"/>
                  </xs:restriction>
                </xs:simpleType>
              </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>

</xs:schema>


Hope that helps,
