Suggest you (and anyone else finding W3C XML Schema confusing and/or difficult) take a look at RELAX-NG.
RELAX-NG is an alternative schema language that is much more flexible and easy to use than W3C XML Schema. RELAX-NG also defines a non-XML syntax that makes it even easier to work with, since the non-XML syntax can be translated into XML using a tools such as Trang. There are many other tools that make it easy to work with RELAX-NG.
Eric Van der Vlist is working on a RELAX-NG book that you can read at http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/
Take a look at RELAX-NG - you might never want to work with XML Schema again...
