It'd be useful to see some examples of how things like including by
reference other schema work.  It feels like something we should be able
to use more in a schema based thing but perhaps that's not viable with
realistic tooling.  In general this looks OK, especially with all the
meta comments about the language stripped out.

Like Stephen said the | looks odd.

Any way to relate this to the interrupts property in the schema
language (eg, must have the less or equal number of elements)?

That's awkward :/  Perhaps just by convention quote all property names
for simplicity?
