Tom --

I asked about this a while back, actually:

http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200206/msg00905.html

The situation here was a schema that was built from X.12 EDI
(http://www.tranxml.org) but where self-contained, minimal schemae for
different document elements was desired.  (The results are part of the
4.0 release.)

I ended up with a stylesheet combination that first merged the total
includes together into a holder document and then ran multiple passes
that simplified the document by pulling types into a bucket that would
eventually contain the final schema.  Several passes were required but
produced a workable self-contained, minmal schema for the desired type.

I am happy to share the stylesheets if they would be useful.  I would
not, however, consider them to be much more than a start.

I definitely agree with Joseph's vision of being able to assemble a
schema from a registry of atoms.

Cheers,
