That would be possible if you accepted to change the "Type" attribute by
a "xsi:type" attribute, in which case if you've defined complex types
named "Single", "Double" and "DoubleOneChild" derived from the datatype
assigned to your element you'd assign one of these types to your
element.
Hope this helps.
