Unless I have missed something, I'd say that you can't.

If you have a finite number of possible names, you can use a xsd:choice
[1] to specify this list.

Otherwise, you have to specify the name of the element, unless you use a
xsd:any [2], but then you can't specify anything about the elements you
are accepting except their namespace.
