A Pseudo-component has the same attributes as ordinary schema component: a name, a namespace and a type. Current implementation of Pseudo-components requires exact specifying the name and namespace for the new pseudo-component. Sometimes it is not acceptable because they (name + namespace) can be unknown. It is implied that only type is known in such cases. It is suggested to allow pseudo-elements with only type specified. They can be called anonymous pseudo-element. They should be represented in an XPath expression as asterisk wildcard sign. User can't map the anonymous pseudo-element itself, but he can use its internal nodes. That is why the feature is applicable to elements only (attribute can't have internal structure).
