No, the problem is that you don't know what the element names are in
advance.  Any elements are permitted, but there can be no duplication of
names.  I don't think the solution you proposed deals with that, unless
I've missed something significant in XML Schema.

I don't think the Schematron you proposed works for the same reason.
Ken Holman's XSLT looks generic enough to do the job, and I suspect
there would be something equivalent in Schematron.

If I've missed something completely, please let me know.
