Already there ;-)
<xsd:element name="exclude">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element ref="reason" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="id"
type="idtype"
default="all" />
<xsd:attribute name="platform"
type="platformlisttype"
default="all" />
<xsd:attribute name="shouldfix"
type="booleanstringtype"
default="true" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
where
<xsd:simpleType name="platformstringtype" >
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="win.IA32"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="linux.IA32"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="all"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
but of course we can do whatever we want.
