If you are happy using ISO Relax NG, I'd help.
You specify it in 'English', I'll translate into .rng?

I am also wondering (and will find out and report back to the AHG) if the schema should be considered a part of reference implementation and, as such, would be considered as an amendment to part 5 "Reference software implementation" (ISO/IEC 14496-5). This part *is* available for free download so making the schema for CFR an amendment to part 5 would establish a proper home for it and provide unrestricted access for download.
