  I can't answer specifically on this problem, Kasimier changed some of
the internals between 2.6.21 and 2.6.22. In general as we are getting 
closer to completion of XSD support, it start to make sense to add more
introspection APIs, and increasingly rely on them, but this is still a
work in progress. The problem is to find the right APIs, this proved
to be a problem even for something as simple as DTD support. 
  PSVI, content model, what can be inserted at a given point in an element
content, etc. there is a lot of informations that can be provided, the
problem is to do so in a reliable and clean fashion, and then add that to
the regression tests.
  There is still a bit of work ahead ;-), help is welcome as usual !
