Hello Rob,

Do you mean that I should add these explanations inside the schema
properties description ?
Or I should enforce these in some other way ? The schema already
includes what is written here (for example, const reg 0 for the child
node, etc.)
Or maybe you wanted to tell me something else ?

Thanks,
Eugen
