Out of band attributes

Is there a way in which I can declare an attribute, so that I could attach
to ANY element. My goal is to not have to declare it as an attribute for
every element. I have about 600 schemas and I'd like to attach this
meta-data attribute to any of the elements, at any time. I'd like to use it
in a similar fashion as the "xsi:type" attribute is used, in that it can be
placed on any element at any time.

Does anyone know how I can express that in XML Schema? Or is this not
possible?

Something like this:

<Address>
	<Street txt:process="true">123 W. Main</Street>
	<Street2 txt:process="true">Apt. B</Street2>
	<City>Somewhere</City>
	<State>MO</State>
	<Zip>64114</Zip>
</Address>

Thanks.
