524524### Keyword Interactions

526- Keyword behavior MAY be defined in terms of the annotation results of
527- [ subschemas] ( #root ) and/or adjacent keywords (keywords within the same schema
528- object) and their subschemas. Such keywords MUST NOT result in a circular
529- dependency. Keywords MAY modify their behavior based on the presence or absence
530- of another keyword in the same [ schema object] ( #schema-document ) .
526+ Keywords MAY modify their behavior based on the presence or absence of another
527+ keyword in the same [ schema object] ( #schema-document ) . Such keywords MUST NOT

529+
530+ Unless otherwise specified, keywords act independently.

532+ #### Annotations as an Interaction Mechanism
533+
534+ This document uses annotations as a mechanism to describe the interactions
535+ between keywords, however this is for illustrative purposes and not
536+ prescriptive. Implementations SHOULD use whatever mechanisms makes sense given
537+ their architecture and language needs in order to achieve the specified
538+ behaviors. Implementations are not required to collect annotations in order to
539+ manage keyword interaction.
540+
541+ Supplementary specifications are also encouraged to use annotations to describe
542+ any interactions of the keywords they define.
