Yeah. A lot of the above I feel is just duplicate of how graphs work, 
but I left it as-is.

The original text did say 'array', but there aren't any cases, I can't 
really see why or how you'd have more than 1, and it seemed silly to 
make it an array type with 'maxItems: 1'. Wouldn't a 2 clock case be 
dual interface like we do for DSI?
