I have a small package up on Haskell who's sole existence is to be a
Haskell implementation of a particular XML schema:

xcb-types: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xcb-types
xcb.xsd: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/proto/tree/src/xcb.xsd

It's pretty stable now, so I'm not sure I'd switch over to something
new.  But at the time I think I tried to do an XSD to DTD transform so
I could use the existing DTD to Haskell tools.  That didn't work out
so well, but I don't really remember why.
