This is nice - but still quite far from the schema support of "pyxb".

The "pyxb" binding generation generates a Python class for each type
defined in the schema. You just instantiate such a class, populate
the resulting object (in the normal Python way) and either use
it in the construction of larger objects or serialize it as XML -- no
need to worry about special construction ("objectivity.DataElement",
"objectivity.SubElement", ...), no need to worry about xml namespaces.
