+//==============================================================================
+// This class implements a subset of JSON Schema.
+// See: http://www.json.com/json-schema-proposal/ for more details.
+//
+// There is also an older JavaScript implementation of the same functionality in
+// chrome/renderer/resources/json_schema.js.
+//
+// The following features of JSON Schema are not implemented:
+// - requires
+// - unique
+// - disallow
+// - union types (but replaced with 'choices')
+// - number.maxDecimal
+// - string.pattern
+//
+// The following properties are not applicable to the interface exposed by
+// this class:
+// - options
+// - readonly
+// - title
+// - description
+// - format
+// - default
+// - transient
+// - hidden
+//
+// There are also these departures from the JSON Schema proposal:
+// - null counts as 'unspecified' for optional values
+// - added the 'choices' property, to allow specifying a list of possible types
+//   for a value
+// - by default an "object" typed schema does not allow additional properties.
+//   if present, "additionalProperties" is to be a schema against which all
+//   additional properties will be validated.
