 data that must validate against that schema.

 Yeah, I understand. The problem is that having such (fixed) schema in WP
 doesn't seem to be possible from a laws/regulations compliance point of
 view. I.e. the author(s) of the schema may carry legal responsibility for
 items that are included or not included there.

 This seems like a bad software design?

 need to be translated.

 Hmm, the way I see it the data will not include any translatable strings.
 It would be "just data" used to build some UI. The (numerous) code
 examples in the ticket description don't seem to serve the purpose well
 and will need changing (separate data from view, etc.).

 Even if there are translatable strings, the data is "static" by nature,
 why would there be a REST API end point for such data? :)
