Non-restrictive XSD Enumeration

From: EricLemmon@-----------.---------.---

Hello,

I have an XML file with an XSD schema file behind it, so my users that edit 
the XML directly [in VS 2005] receive Intellisense dropdowns for all 
enumerations.

How can I make some of these enumerations flexible enough, so that the doc 
won't fail schema validation when text is entered that is not an enumerated 
value?

For example, this would mimic how the maxOccurs attribute has the 
"unbounded" enumeration, but it permits you to add an integer value.

Here is a snippet of the offending XSD:
<xs:element name="PhoneType" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="Home" />
      <xs:enumeration value="Office" />
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

How can I make both of these pass schema validation?
<PhoneType>Home</PhoneType>
<PhoneType>Cell</PhoneType>

Thank you,

Eric
