Awesome. Thanks for the pointers! Is the clock schema posted to the list
somewhere?

Ok. I think it would be good to treat them like commit subjects that
don't have the full stop either, so if the script is able to drop the
full stop it would be great.

Hmm ok. I suppose I'll have to hold that information in my mind when
reviewing bindings. Is there any tooling or some script that I can run
on json-schema bindings to verify they're correct? Or to find something
redundant like this where a standard property is redefined? Grep would
work for the redundant problem I suppose.

Alright. Thanks for the explanations.

Sounds good.
