Note that XHTML 1.x elements as defined by the W3C are in the namespace 
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml so what you show is not XHTML as defined by 
the W3C.

Include a schema for your "XHTML" elements (or import one if you move to 
real XHTML in the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml).
As an alternative you could consider xs:any 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#any), that allows you not to specify 
what exactly the contents is.
