<xsd:element name="Value" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
   <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:simpleContent>
         <xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
            <xsd:attribute name="POSITION" type="positiveInteger"
use="optional"/>
         </xsd:extension>
      </xsd:simpleContent>
   </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

This will give you the element definition you want and in this case the
content of element Value is of type xsd:string.
