Extending RSS 2.0

Hello,

if I extend RSS 2.0 with some additional <item> elements in my own job: 
namespace like this:

<item>
    <title>Job title</title>
    <link>http://link/to/some/job</link>
    <description>Job description.</description>
    <enclosure url="http://some.domain.com/img/logo.jpg" 
type="image/jpeg" length="34566"/>
    <pubDate>Mon, 26 Sep 2005 11:25:10 +0200</pubDate>
    <job:company>Acme ltd.</job:company>
    <job:work-area>Job work area</job:work-area>
    <job:type>type of job</job:type>
    <job:education>level of education</job:education>
    <job:location region="some region">town</job:location>
    <job:expires>Mon, 17 Oct 2005 11:25:10 +0200</job:expires>
</item>

it validates perfectly ok with 
http://www.thearchitect.co.uk/schemas/rss-2_0.xsd. Understandably, as

<xs:any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0" 
maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <xs:annotation>
        <xs:documentation>Extensibility element.</xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>
</xs:any>

is allowing this. Now, how do I enforce rules for my job: elements? The 
basis for validation would be the above xsd, which would allow inclusion 
of different new sets of elements and namespaces (one of them being 
job:, the other maybe commerce:).

How to do this right?

Regards,
Borut
