 # - a spec (for validation and defaults).
-#   this spec is basically a dict that will be used
+#   this spec is conformant to the json-schema.
+#   basically a dict that will be used
 #   for type casting and validation, and defaults settings.
 
 # all config objects, since they are derived from  BaseConfig, implement basic

 # - save

-# TODO:
-# [done] raise validation errors
