xsdgen issue - root element

[junghao]

From the xsd specification http://www.fdsn.org/xml/station/fdsn-station-1.0.xsd, the "Root element" defined:

<!--  Root element  -->
<xs:element name="FDSNStationXML" type="fsx:RootType"/>
<!--  Type definitions  -->
<xs:complexType name="RootType">
<xs:annotation>
...

Which means the root element struct name should be "FDSNStationXML", e.g.:

type FDSNStationXML struct {
	SchemaVersion float64       `xml:"schemaVersion,attr"`
...

However, currently xsdgen's output is:

type RootType struct {
	SchemaVersion float64       `xml:"schemaVersion,attr"`
...

This problem only happens in the root element.

In this case the xsdgen package is behaving as intended. This is a type declaration, and in the schema, the type name is fsx:RootType. I'm open to discussing whether this is desired behavior. Currently, the xsd package totally ignores top-level elements and attributes, and just searches them for type declaration. Honestly I don't quite know what to do with top-level element declarations in an xml schema.

For this specific instance, you can get what you want like this:

xsdgen -r 'RootType -> FDSNStationXML'
