There's certainly not in XSLT 1.0. For XPath/XSLT 2.0 to support it,
the XQuery/XPath data model would have to include model groups. The
only schema components that it does so far (see the WD at
http://www.w3.org/TR/query-datamodel/#types) seems to be
element/attribute declarations and simple/complex types. So it doesn't
look as though there's a plan to have this support at present.
But you should bring it up to the XQuery/XPath editors
(www-xml-query-comments@xxxxxx). The schema support in XPath/XSLT
should reflect real world requirements, and if you've got one, then
you should make your case!
Cheers,
Jeni
