No. The type definitions of most of the elements and attributes in
the W3C XML Schema namespace are defined with blockDefault='#all', meaning
that you cannot use anything other than the expected types for those
elements.
However there is a place where you are allowed to put your extensions,
namely the appInfo element:
<simpleType name="MyType" xmlns:my="http://www.example.org/Prasad/Extension">
<restriction base="string">
<enumeration value="ABC">
<annotation>
<appInfo>
<my:Element value="xxx"/>
</appInfo>
</annotation>
</enumeraion>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
