At this point in time, you can't.  The same is true when AttDef/AttGroup elements that do not have an Element attribute and Enumeration elements are placed directly under the XSchema element.

The purpose of such elements under XSchema is to allow an XSchema element to act as a container of free-floating definitions.  These can then be reused, using a mechanism we hope to specify later (probably XLinks).  For more information, see sections 5.2.4 and 5.2.6.
