Oops, my bad! The files used in the custom type were not really designed.
They evolved during my attemtps to get them to work. Implementating the
changes you give above made the infinite recursion disappear. (This did
require that I do a 'make clean'. Otherwise I still got an unresolved
external reference for the constructor taking simple_type.) I have merged
these changed into the files for the custom-intended implementation on
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jnw/codesynthesis/xmlnamespace/index.html

Is there an overview of which constructors are required for which kinds of
custom types? Or is there a way to get xsd to generate an overview? (I
noticed that in examples/cxx/tree the constructor taking DOMAttr is
generated only for custom/calendar.)

Thanks,

Jeroen.
