I think this is an excellent idea. Since there does not seem to be
anything like this, I started XSSTL - XML Schema Standard Type
Library:

http://codesynthesis.com/projects/xsstl/

The first release of the library includes the following types:

    EmailAddress             Email address

    IPv4Address              IPv4 address in the dotted-decimal notation
    Port                     Port number
    IPv4Endpoint             IPv4 address and port pair
    IPv4EndpointStruct       Structured IPv4 address and port pair


    ISO3166CountyCode        Two-letter (alpha-2) ISO 3166-1 country code

    Percentage               Percent value in the range [0, 100]

    PhoneNumber              Full international telephone number
    PhoneCountryCode         Telephone country code
    PhoneAreaCode            Telephone area code
    PhoneSubscriberNumber    Telephone subscriber number
    PhoneExtensionNumber     Telephone extension number
    PhoneNumberStruct        Structured full international telephone number


    RFC822DateTime           Date and time formatted according to the RFC822.

    USStateTerritoryCode     50 states + 9 territories
    USStateCode              50 states + District of Columbia
    USTerritoryCode          9 territories - District of Columbia
    USContinentalStateCode   USStateCode - Hawaii
    USContiguousStateCode    USContiguousStateCode - Alaska
