translating xsd's

Hi, 
I need to transform an xml schema which has attributes into a schema whcih doesn't have attributes (due to an architecture constraint), which in theory should work as an xsd is an xml doc in itself..but I want to convert the structure, not the structure of a populated xml doc ..as I'm not able to do this conventionally on the content of a populated message, is this possible? It's important this is automated as most publishers will be publishing attributes but the broker can't handle them.
ie, I want to convert the attribute to an element:

from:
<xs:element name="size" default="1" minOccurs="0">
	<xs:complexType>
		<xs:simpleContent>
			<xs:extension base="xs:double">
				<xs:attribute name="metric" type="bem:metricType" use="required"/>
						</xs:extension>
					</xs:simpleContent>
				</xs:complexType>
			</xs:element>

to:

<xs:element name="sizeMetric" type="bem:metricType" minOccurs="1"/>


many thx for any help
