No, the first declaration is invalid (ssn should be in parentheses), and an
XML element name/type must match the Name production and thus cannot begin
with a number. Even if it were valid, this approach would mean his XML would
look like this:

<personalinfo>
  <ssn>
    <1/><1/><1/><2/><2/><3/><3/><3/><3/>
  </ssn>
</personalinfo>
