The docs do not spell out that any schema would be based on https://concepts.datalad.org/s/things/v1/

At the same time, the +stl backends assume a schema_type property with the exact semantics that are defined in https://concepts.datalad.org/s/things/v1/

This connection needs to become more obvious. Either by saying that these backends are meant to work with the things schema, or by adding configuration that makes them compatible with schemas using different semantics.

A similar question could be asked for pid.

For now, I updated README.md to describe the underlying assumptions explicitly.
