It would take, practically, a total re-write of the XML backend to
actively use the schema in parsing or generation.  The code right now
isn't in flux, so there's little need to verify the code's output
against a schema.

The desire is to move away from XML for primary data-storage, though to
support some form of XML as an export/import format.  If that effort
results in a re-write of the XML layer, it's conceivable a schema-driven
or -influenced design could come out of that.

The schema is periodically requested, so it would be nice to have, but
there's little core-developer interest in doing it.
