Separate XmlSchema API and implementation

Has there been any thought yet on creating an API for ws-commons XmlSchema,
separate from the implementation (e.g. as interfaces in separate packages).
This would allow some other project's API to expose XmlSchema as an API,
without being tied to the ws-commons implementation.

This may not be an issue for most Apache WS projects, but Woden for example
will define a WSDL 2.0 API and implementation separately to cater for users
who may wish to re-implement bits themselves.  For example, if we could
expose XML schema through the Woden API using a ws-commons XmlSchema API,
then when Eclipse uses Woden it may choose to provide its own EMF-based
implementation of XmlSchema.

I'm not expecting someone else to do all the work, just getting your
feedback initially.

In fact, there is an EMF XSD model that we use at in the Eclipse Web
Tools project for our WSDL 1.1 validator. Let's not worry about this
yet though.

+1 .. and Woden'ers you're welcome to take the charge on this! :).

Eventually sure...but we don't have folks working full time on this code yet.
