Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the existing schema-handling and XML-generation paths, then clarify how optional fields and schema restrictions should be handled. Done should mean generating dummy XML that conforms to the schema with a selectable policy for optional fields.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be great having a function to generate dummy xml from an existing schema.
There should be a choise if you want or dont want to generate for optional fields.
The data generated can be dummy but should follow any restrictions.
