Well, under required properties 'reset-names' is listed as well as 'arb' is 
required, only 'rst' is optional.

Nothing is made up. When creating the .yaml file I took the .txt documentation 
for granted. How should I know the bindings documentation is apparently wrong?

When using your older bindings conversion [1] I'm fine with dropping this one.
