No, W3C XML Schema is very strict on avoiding any possible ambiguity and you would have to use different element names to make this possible (getHTTPdata, getHTTPSdata, getFILEdata) with W3C XML Schema alone. You can also add extra tests in addition to W3C XML Schema as Jeff Rafter pointed out, but it's actually (IMHO) one of the key differences between W3C XML Schema and alternatives such as RELAX NG where these constructs are trivial to describe.
