In the case of forms and similar items, the schema parser should be able to determine the types of the elements and attributes. Could this knowledge be used to create IDL? I'm not sure which problem it is that you see OMG IDL as providing a solution to, but I'll simply note that those who work on APIs in W3C have actually moved away from OMG IDL and into WebIDL (http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/). There have been discussions about using it to describe RPC scenarios but so far those have involved transmitting JSON rather than XML. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
