I don't think so, for two reasons:

a) We can't change a schema in a non-compatible way after it's published as a standard.

b) We can't do this without breaking the intended allowable content model. It's complexContent for a reason. Your change is not correct. It may be correct for your subset of requirements of course, in which case you're free to apply whatever restrictions make sense.

Speaking personally and not in any TC capacity, there are many tools that are lousy at automating code from schemas. The point of the schema is not to generate code, it's to formally document the syntax allowed by the standard.
