Indeed this is what substitution groups are for:
<xs:complexType name="text" mixed="true">
<xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element ref="span"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="span" abstract="true" type="text"/>
<xs:element name="emph" substitutionGroup="span"/>
<xs:element name="font" substitutionGroup="span"/>
<xs:element name="strong" substitutionGroup="span"/>
<xs:element name="img" substitutionGroup="span">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:complexContent mixed="false">
<xs:restriction base="text"/>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Note that emph, font and strong will be of type 'text' by default.
