Well, I know that, but I wanted to get element declaration , default values,  potential  children, attributes for an  element, and the only way to do that quickly was to do dirty things like copy private structures in  my code. I totally understand that private structures or private function are "highly subject to change" especially in the Schema part which is still a work in progress.  I knew it was a bit risky and the recent changes you made in xmlschema don't allow me to get those informations anymore, using that awful method : the only way to get them seems to use the psvi...

...so OK for the deal, I can try to do that, starting with element declarations, then maybe IDC definitions. But I must confess that I have absolutly no idea of the difficulty of this task.

I added some comments for the fields of the structs, so you
have a better overview of what is obsolete. For xmlSchemaType and
xmlSchemaElement I'm not 100% sure, since some of the fields might
be still used by the RelaxNG module.

See include/libxml/schemasInternals.h, revision 1.36.

OK, thanks for those new comments.
