This should list the compatibles.

This cannot be true.

Missing compatibles.

Do not add descriptioons to compatible. You are just duplicating the
names. Look at other examples if you want to add description to actual
compatible for some reason.

I really do not know what you want to express here. This is not a
correct syntax.

This wasn't in original binding and I did not see explanation of changes
in the commit msg.

Do not define properties in if: block, but in top level.
