Generating forms from XML Schema

I've been doing some fairly extensive searching on this topic and have
not yet found a solution that doesn't involve recoding the schema in
some framework-specific xml and jumping through various other hoops.
Is there not some
web-2.0-framework-publishing-(non)-bells-and-whistles-technology that
will take a valid XML Schema and create either an XForm or standard
HTML form, publish it, and then validate the subsquent data submission
against the Schema.  In a perfect world this would be also make it easy
to store the data in an native or XML-enabled database.

I've looked at Cocoon for example but this requires redoing the Schemas
in proprietary xml which I inherently dislike.  Furthermore this would
make it difficult to achieve a wider ambition of having a system where
third party schemas could be processed on the fly for optional
'subforms' of the main form (though these schemas would all be built
from standard building blocks, just with different permutations and
combinations)

Cheers
