Actually, it wouldn't accept that either, it's just the parser errored out
on the <b> element before it could find a <c> element. There is no way to do
this within VisualStudio, it's a limitation within the tool. They are trying
to make the schema fit into a relational model, which means imposing
limitations on the schema language.
