The reason why the order of the rest doesn't matter is because we have
both reg and reg-names properties and so the order in which they appear
in the list doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that the
entries of the reg and reg-names properties match.

Yeah, this ends up making all entries optional, which isn't what we
want. I don't know of a way to accurately express this in json-schema,
though. Do you?

If not, then maybe we need to resort to something like this and also
mention explicitly in some comment that it is sid and broadcast that are
optional.
