Possibly, yes.

I think we should default to the latter. video-interfaces.yaml contains
lots of properties endpoint properties, most bindings will use less than
half of them, so having to explicitly list all the ones that are not
used with "foo: false" would be quite inconvenient. Furthermore, I
expect more properties to be added to video-interfaces.yaml over time,
and those shouldn't be accepted by default in existing bindings.
