attribute constraints

I'm currently trying to recast the OpenMath DTD into W3C Schema (and
relax ng and schematron) Many of the extra prose restrictions not
specified in the dtd can be encapsualted (regexp restrictions, mainly) 

but one is alluding me at present (for W3C Schema)
The "Float" element has two attributes, taking either a hex or decimal
value. You have to have exactly one of these present.

If it were child elements rather than attributes I'd use xsd:choice
and if it were simple types rather than attributes I could use a union
but it seems that both of these constructs are not available here.
Unless I missed something (which is quite possible) so the question:

Is it possible to change the following so that 
<OMF/> and <OMF dec="2" hex="F"/>
do not  validate?

thanks,


David

<!-- should derive from double not string, and if possible require exactly one of the hex and dec attributes -->
<xs:element name="OMF">
   <xs:complexType>
    <xs:attribute name="dec" type="omDecFloat" use="optional" />
    <xs:attribute name="hex" type="omHexFloat" use="optional" />
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

<xs:simpleType name="omDecFloat" >
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
    <xs:pattern value="(-?)([0-9]+)?(\.[0-9]+)?(e([+-]?)[0-9]+)?" />
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType> 

<xs:simpleType name="omHexFloat">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
    <xs:pattern value="[0-9A-F]+" />
    </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
