Not a correct schema. What is this "- description" attached to? There is

Does not look like proper compatible and your explanation from commit
msg did not help me. What "1" and "2" stand for? Usually compatibles
cannot have some arbitrary properties encoded.

No, instead describe actual items with "const". See other examples.
