Allow a wildcard to indicate that it will allow any element that
conforms to a specified type.

This item was discussed in the meeting of 2004-05-12
(http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/05/xml-schema-ftf-minutes.html);
there was no consensus, the WG being equally divided between the
desire to adopt the proposal and the desire to abandon the
desideratum.  We agreed to postpone further discussion; the topic may
come up again.  If it proves useful in supporting versioning, there is
a higher likelihood of adoption.

Proposal:

According to the requirements document, this topic was discussed in the past
and was postponed for later reconsideration.
