i want to specify that either fieldname or freetext is always present in xml files that apply to xsd. is there a way to define it?

<xs:complexType name="tSome">
<xs:sequence>
  <!-- either of 2 below have 2 be present. -->
  <xs:element name="fieldname" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
  <xs:element name="freetext" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
  <xs:element name="dbtablename" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
