You should not (try to) think ;-)   $wsdl->template(PERL => $type)
produces what is expected, and you should follow that.

The problem is your nested <choice> does not have a name.  The XML
structure can not be mapped to a perl structure without a name, so
X::C constructs a name based on the first element inside the choice.
multipleChoiceQuestion is the name of the first element, hence
cho_multipleChoiceQuestion is the name of the choice block.  Even
if you only put other elements in there.

When you use a schema, you use schema data-types, so I do not expect
to see xml:lang where we have an xsd:language type.  However, it is
possible...  I see this:

  <xs:element name="label">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        ...
      </xs:sequence>
      <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang" use="required"/>

So, you "lang" parameter will get taken.  Whether the attribute is
included as 'lang' or 'xml:lang' depends on the attributeFormDefault
of the schema.

Your xml.xsd does not say attributeFormDefault="qualified", so it
defaults to "unqualified".  Old schema's often do not have these
*FromDefault lines in them, because they were added as syntax later.
You can fix that when loading the schema:

  $wsdl->importDefinitions('xml.xsd'
    , attribute_form_default => 'qualified'
    );

importDefinitions() calls addSchemas() which offers more of these
tunables.
