This is actually a very tame schema, compared to other stuff out there ;-).
I just tried to compile it and there doesn't seem to be any issues.

Generally, trying to get from XML to XML Schema (or C++ classes) is a very
error-prone process except for really simple cases. If you still want to
go this route, then I think your best bet is to look for an XML-to-XML
Schema tool rather than XML-to-C++. I personally haven't used any but
this SO page has some recommendations:
