Not exactly. To create a text only content complex type with one or more
attributes you must _extend_ a simple type. So, the correct definition
would be:

<xsd:complexType ...>
   <xsd:complexContent>
      <xsd:extension base="xsd:string">
         <xsd:attribute .../>
      </xsd:extension>
   </xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
