No; it tells you the syntax, but not the meaning.
     <xsd:element name="Transaction">
       <xsd:complexType>
         <xsd:sequence>
           <xsd:element name="Account" type="xsd:string"/>
           <xsd:element name="Amount" type="xsd:float"/>
          </xsd:sequence>
       </xsd:complexType>
     </xsd:element>

Is that a debit or a credit?
