David, You're correct the classes in org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.xb.xsdschema are the classes XMLBeans uses internally to load up xsd files. They are just compiled xbeans of schema4schemas xsd, (because of this bootstrap is required) but you can use them directly.
Those classes will help you deal with .xsd files in XML sense, but it seems you need to ask schema specific questions. For this you'll have to compile (use XMLBeans.compileXsd() ) the xsd files into a TypeSystem and than using the TypeSystem/SchemaType interfaces you can ask schema related questions (see java doc and articles linked from XMLBeans website).
