That is correct; you could consider making a naming convention or otherwise documenting the keys that the library uses for internal purposes? > When two descriptors are compared the contents of the user map > are not taken into account. Again, is this by design? That is correct; the equals check is comparing the formal schema definition (and the user map does not take that part into account). > Ideas? Looks like you have an idea you are content with right now.
