Thanks for the clarification. We need to define the common properties
and make it available under /schemas/<>.yaml and add a reference to it
in these bindings. Is my understanding correct?

ok, I was wrong in saying dynamically. I should say "are there any other
properties that will be included that are not documented here".

is below my understanding correct?

additionalProperties needs to be set to false if at all this binding
defines all the possible properties (including child nodes) and not
referring to any other schemas.

If that is not the case and this binding references to other schemas,
then unevaluatedProperties could be used since additionalProperties
can't support combining schemas.

Thanks,
