I am generating the xsd for the version of RCF1213 retrieved from mibcentral. I get no errors or warnings, yet "ifTable" has no entry. The "ifEntry" is present and contains the sequence of OIDs that should appear under "IfEntry". "IfEntry" is also missing.
Is this a design feature to minimize unnecessary nodes, or a bug?

Which version of libsmi do you use?
We (well, Torsten Klie in fact does most of the work) are continously working on the XSD MIB representation, its implementation and an additional tool (mibdump) to get instance documents via SNMP retrieval.
If you want to keep up with our current work, please use the CVS repository and get the `libsmi' CVS module (see http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/download.html).
We would be happy to have further dicussion about improvements of the XML Schema format on the mailinglist.

Well, RFC 1213 is a bug. :-)
We don't care a lot about obsolete SMIv1 MIBs. The ifTable is defined in the current Standards Track version of the IF-MIB which is published in RFC 2863.
If you use the IF-MIB (it also comes with libsmi), then `smilint -f xsd' should produce a better result.
