Description

Just a thought going forward that we should mock-up some very minimal modifications to the reference server to test various things, e.g. the v1.2 grammar, hosting provider-specific fields with new types (like bools), and any new endpoints that might be added in the future (like /files), using wonky base URLs, etc.

These could also be used in the use-case documentation.

Disclaimer, I am not volunteering to do it :P

Research direction

Start by locating the reference server and any existing server test cases. Define the minimal scenarios mentioned in the issue, including v1.2 grammar, provider-specific boolean fields, future endpoints such as /files, and unusual base URLs; the work is done when these cases are covered and their suitability for use-case documentation is clear.
