Unfortunately not. In this particular case, the content model can
be complex with multiple possible elements (think of a required
xs:choice). Providing this information would be expensive both in
terms of implementation complexity as well as code bloat.

One (admittedly somewhat roundabout) way to help with this would
be to disable schema validation in the generated code, serialize
the (invalid) XML, and then re-parse it with a general-purpose
validating XML parser (e.g., Xerces-C++).
