I think you can add the following particular wherever you want to open up
your content model as far as it can open. 
 
 <any namespace="#other" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" processContents="lax" />

There is a similar particle called <anyAttribute> for attributes.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Wildcards

An W3C XML Schema schema  is closed by default. You have to explicitly set the points in 
content models where openness is allowed. There is no global attribute to make it
open.
