For the binding with a property defined only in top-level properties: no
changes, no new rules.

For the binding with top-level and if:then:else: dtschema since few
months changed interpretation.

Answer below assumes we have clocks defined in top-level properties and
there is no if:then:else customizing it.

That's wrong, because items are unconstrained.

This one is preferred.

This one is correct, but less preferred.
