FYI: json-refs has some issues w/ resolving JSON Schemas #86
Description
For details, see the upstream issue here: whitlockjc/json-refs#207
The core of the issue, from the maintainer of that project:
https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v5.json is a JSON Schema file and its $ref plays by different rules than JSON References. So the many cases where $ref is adjacent to other properties, these are not valid in JSON References but are for JSON Schema.
This means that not only is my particular case affected by the bug, but that json-refs in its current state might not be a good general purpose solution to resolving refs in JSON Schemas.
