  Make the schemas interfaces part of the official API, rerun
the generator.py script, and try to fix manually any problem
with the few APIs exported yet, add a few tests.
  The main problem is that the current libxml2 XML Schemas
support is quite limited, there are bugs too, and that is the hard
part and the reason why I didn't made it part of the official API yet.

  Well except libxml2 schemas implementation is in C, reuse ain't that
simple.
