There is a number of projects that does so, see for instance
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsdl2xforms/ which has been used on a
large scale with Orbeon Forms in Estonia.

The criticism we can do to this approach is that designing a schema
isn't the same thing as designing a form: fields must often be presented
in a different order than they appear in the schema (or be omitted) and
you may also want to implement several different forms for a single
schema.

For these reasons you may prefer to generate forms from higher level
models than schemas.

Concerning Form Runner, the structure of the form makes it quite easy to
generate forms.

We have presented a project that does this kind of things at Balisage
last year, see
http://balisage.net/Proceedings/vol11/html/Cotton01/BalisageVol11-Cotton01.html

Hope this helps,

Eric
