XSD doesn not directly support WSDL. However, if you factor the
message schemas into separate .xsd files (WSDL support defining
messages in external schema files), then you can compile them
with XSD.

You can also compile the SOAP schema for the envelope and parse/
serialize it using XSD. The message in the SOAP envelop will be
represented as a wildcard content (xsd:any) so you will need to
re-parse/re-serialize them using the classed generated from the
message schemas. See the 'wildcard' example for details on how
to do this.
