The lxprintf utility from the LTxml2 package (Edinburgh) can be used to
query the XSD files from the command line, eg

$ lxprintf -e '*[@type="xs:IDREF"]' "%s on %s\n" @name
'(ancestor::xs:element|ancestor::xs:attributeGroup)/@name' docbook.xsd
linkend on db.common.linking.attributes
endterm on xref
endterm on link
otherterm on glosssee
otherterm on glossseealso
endterm on biblioref
startref on indexterm
$ lxprintf -e
'xs:element[descendant::xs:attributeGroup[@ref="docbook:db.common.linking.attributes"]]'
"%s\n" @name docbook.xsd
