I plan to play around with schematron or a combination of schematron and an RDF ontology to generate a form. Someone mentioned it on the list a few years ago, but I don't know if it moved forward. If I'm moderately successful implementing schematron, I'll report back.

I think Eric's point is valid: if you could dynamically generate a form from XSD, would that form be user-friendly? I think you have to carefully balance usability with automation.
