Why don't you define a Mango element and an Apple element, each with
their own structure? I'll bet there is even a way to define a Fruit
element, then derive an Apple and a Mango from Fruit. Then you would
instantiate either type of fruit, Apple or Mango, and get the proper
structure.

PS
It looks like you are trying to use the attribute to name the element
type, which would be unnecessary, and it would surprise me if xsd --
or any schema definition language -- would attribute class semantics
to the arrtibutes you create arbitrarily. You are trying to place your
metadata in the data domain.
