Had this idea, but I'm not too trilled about it:
Default = blank, and error out if the user did not set it. The error
message will state how to get it of course :)
This approach is not ideal but in a way it covers the "all must adhere
prefix" and prevents the case of xx reports on the topic "vdpau/omx is
broken".

Thoughts ?
