No, we've got a bunch of properties that get added to endpoint nodes.
There's a few cases where 'port' nodes have properties too.

Yes, that's probably a separate change. The examples need updating
too. We do have a few cases we'll have to support though.

I've gone thru and updated schemas to use this. Primarily to prove out
a meta-schema for it. So I'll be sending out another version.
