Of course, you can write it like this. And now try to get complex schema 
like DocBook and implement this stuff in it. Because there are a tens of 
elements like mediaobject that can appear in different places you must 
justify this logic with your annot element. So you will have different 
content models for annot element depending on annot parent element. Not 
something that will make schema easy to understand and easy to modify.
