No and yes :-)
XML Schema allows mixed content, with full flexibility of the
configuration of elements allowed. But the text allowed thereby is
not typed.
E.g. to reconstruct <!ELEMENT foo (bar|mum|#PCDATA)*> we would write
<xs:complexType mixed='true'>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="bar"/>
<xs:element name="mum"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
