No, I would suggest that you do not modify the schema and instead
"assemble" your complete document from individually serialized
fragments, as shown in the 'messaging' example.

No, XSD does not provide this functionality out of the box. The
recommended way is to serialize the document into DOM and then use
something like Apache XML Security to add the signature:
