Nope. Actually, XSD doesn't provide a mechanism to identify a root at all=
.=20
You declare elements in the schema. Schema validators can either accept=20
whatever element happens to be in the document as the root, or can throug=
h=20
other means (e.g. command line arg or api) specify a desired root name.

These design choice was somewhat controversial, but that's how it works.
