I could imagine the OS wanting to know more information than just 
'dummy'. Is data from an unknown source useful? Likewise, don't you want 
to know where you are sending data too?

Don't need oneOf as there is only one entry.

This still allows the nodes when they don't make sense. I think this 
needs to be 2 schema files. The only common part is 'compatible' and 
that's not even shared.
