Re: determine root element in the xml from schema

So would I.

It should be noted that a Document Type Definition (AKA "DTD") also
does not specify what element type should be the root.  That is left
to the Document Type Declaration in the document, which specifies
the root element type and the DTD.  (The DTD is the collection of
declarations found jointly between square brackets in the Doctype
Declaration and in resources pointed to by the PUBLIC and/or SYSTEM
Indentifier preceding said square brackets.)

I trust no one is surprised that Schema works like DTDs in this
respect.
