Often a scheme will have an OPTIONAL and REQUIRED flag for each value. If a REQUIRED value is present but the parser does not support it then the parse fails. For instance, we could mark Encrypted as required, and a zynq driver that does not support the Encrypted tag would not load the bitfile rather than try to load it wrongly. This can be forced into any of the approaches with various levels of hackery. Jason
