This schema is never applied because it has no 'select' which is only 
automatic for $nodename or compatible. You could include this from other 
schemas, but why? Any consumer still has to list these properties to 
define their specific constraints.

We already have a schema in dtschema for consumer side. It's just 
missing descriptions which needs relicensing from this.
