Just one small suggestion - instead of representing types as atoms
<nsprefix>:<name>, I suggest you represent it as a tuple
{NameSpace,Name}.  NameSpace could very well be the full URN as an
atom.  This makes it much easier for an application to actually use
the output and match on different elements.  Thus instead of
'b:USAddress', you would get
{'http://www.example.com/PO1','USAddress'}.

Do you generate reccord definitions also as part of the compilation?
