It's not exactly what you asked for, but you might want to take a look
at LiveDTD:

My impression is that schemas are impossible to write (or to
understand) without special editing tools, because they're so
incredibly verbose. I also tend to favor DTDs because they are
understood by SGML parsers as well (with minor changes). Last but not
least, there is a DtdToHaskell converter, but no SchemaToHaskell
converter. :-)
