Yes, that is certainly possible.

If you use processContents="strict" then you need to provide/use a 
schema for the XHTML namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml. If you use 
processContents="lax" then the parser can validate if a schema is available.

You use an attribute named 'id' but your schema defines one named 'name'.

For document.getElementById to work for XML documents the attribute used 
needs to be defined as type xs:ID.
