Author Partial xsd validation

I am implementing a distributed application, where every incoming xml
document has the same header, but different content (in an element
named Data). This content contains XML of an unknown format. Is it
possible to validate that the header information is correct, without
checking the format of the Data element?

It is possible to achieve that by using xsd:any as that way you can
allow any element (in general or from a certain namespace) and set
validation to lax (validates if schema is found) or skip (does not
validate at all), see
