I'm not aware of one.  If you end up having to implement this yourself, you may
find it easier to use RELAX NG instead of XML Schema.  If you need to operate
on existing XML Schemas, there is a tool called Trang that can convert XML
Schema syntax to RELAX NG syntax.  Actually, Trang performs many similar
conversions.
