My understanding is that unevaluatedProperties well allow all properties
defined in the included video-interfaces.yaml ref but reject others
while additionalProperties will reject any unspecified local property,
even if it is declared in the ref.

In any case with the ISP maybe we don't even want to take the ref from
video-interfaces.yaml since we are dealing with an internal fifo between
two devices. Maybe it would be more appropriate to ref
/schemas/graph.yaml#/$defs/endpoint-base, which already defines
remote-endpoint too.

What do you think?
