That leaves us with <complexType> with <complexContent>, which ensures that there will not be any data content in the element.
<complexType name="processingHook">
<complexContent>
<restriction base="xs:anyType"> -> the default syntax for complex types is complex content that restricts anyType
</restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
<complexType name="processingHook"></complexType>
<!-- example -->
<product prodid="1345" />
<xs:element name="product">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:restriction base="xs:anyType">
<xs:attribute name="prodid" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="prodtype">
<xs:attribute name="prodid" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
</xs:complexType>

Apparently, you can't restrict simpleContent within a complexType, only extend it.
<shoesize country="france">35</shoesize>
<xs:complexType name="shoetype">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:integer">
<xs:attribute name="country" type="xs:string" />
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
<!-- example -->
<marks>95</marks>
<xs:element name="marks">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:integer">
<xs:minInclusive value="0"/>
<xs:maxInclusive value="100"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
