RE: BNF for XML Schema?

The Formal Description of XML Schema is available as a separate
document, which is currently still in working draft status:

	http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-formal/

This contains the mathematically precise and formal description of XML
Schema and should be suitable for your needs.
