Yes, every node needs a schema with all possible properties and then 
'unevaluatedProperties: false' to not allow any other properties.

You need 'reg' in properties, but whether it is required or not just 
depends on putting it in 'required'. I don't have a strong opinion on 
that, but generally it's only use 'reg' when there's more than 1.
