DSL for creating simple xsd files (not xsd-feature complete)

Yeah for sure I could just learn writing xsd without copy'n'paste, but why not learning it by implementing a dsl for
creating it :)

Example
=======

schema = XPain::Builder.new do |xsd|
  xsd.schema do

    xsd.define_complex_type "mystring" do
      xsd.extension :base => "string" do
        xsd.attribute :name => "type", :type => "string", :use => "optional"
      end
    end

    xsd.define_complex_type "myint", :type => "all" do
      xsd.extension :base => "integer" do
        xsd.attribute :name => "type", :type => "string", :use => "optional"
      end
    end

    xsd.define_complex_type "t_address", :type => "all" do
      xsd.element "street", :type => "string"
      xsd.element "city", :type => "string"
    end

    xsd.element "customer" do
      xsd.element "customer_number", :type => "mystring"
      xsd.elements ["firstname", "lastname"], :type => "string", :minOccurs => 1

      xsd.element "addresses", :ctype => "sequence" do
        xsd.element "address", :type => "t_address"
      end
    end
  end
end

puts schema.to_xml

=> output
