No.

But I would like to point something I think is important. I hope I won't 
state something obvious.

I think that the schema should be extensible and declarative.

About extensibility, it should be easy to add properties necessary for 
other tasks - I refer to SQL generation you mentioned for example.

About declarativ'ity', this would allow to check the validity (according to 
the infrastructure it is meant for) of the schema.

IOW I would like to have it declared in XML in place of Python. It would be 
really easy to generate the Python text from XML if needed and would allow 
to check (at least partly) the semantics expressed through the writing of 
DTD or XML schema.
