No and no. You really should be using RELAX NG, which can cope with
this constraint without defensive code.
This is what you want:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<grammar
xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0";>
<start>
<ref name="rooty"/>
</start>
<define name="rooty">
<element name="root" >
<choice>
<group>
<element name="prop1" >
<attribute name="value">
<value>ABC</value>
</attribute>
</element>
<ref name="prop2y"/>
</group>
<group>
<element name="prop1" >
<attribute name="value">
<value>XYZ</value>
</attribute>
</element>
<ref name="prop3y"/>
</group>
</choice>
<empty/>
</element>
</define>
<define name="prop2y">
<element name="prop2" >
<attribute name="value">
<text/>
</attribute>
<text/>
</element>
</define>
<define name="prop3y">
<element name="prop3" >
<attribute name="value">
<text/>
</attribute>
<text/>
</element>
</define>
</grammar>
