Yes, but this is an intrusive method: you need to modify the syntax of the instance documents and I don't think the MathML working group will modify the syntax of MathML which is a recommendation to fit into the W3C XML Schema mold ;=) ... The XML Schema WG itself hasn't used it, otherwise they could have used different complex types for local element definitions and elements references for instance! I see this more as a workaround for custom vocabularies than something used by mainstream specifications...
