Getting element types as defined in schema

Hello all,

Reading DOM/SAX api docs, I tried to get information about how I would be
able to get the custom-defined type of a given element in the instance
document. 

For example I parse an XML instance document where I encounter an element
<foo>. Element <foo> has been given a complexType name of <footype> in the
corresponding XML schema. 

However, is there any way to get such information through any API methods
available ?

Thanks,

- Alex
