###### Fixed Fields for use with `schema`
For simpler scenarios, a [`schema`](#header-schema) and [`style`](#header-style) can describe the structure and syntax of the header.
-When `example` or `examples` are provided in conjunction with the `schema` field, the example MUST follow the prescribed serialization strategy for the header.
Serializing headers with `schema` can be problematic due to the URI percent-encoding that is automatically applied, which would percent-encode characters such as `;` that are used to separate primary header values from their parameters.
The `allowReserved` field can disable most but not all of this behavior.
See [Appendix D](#appendix-d-serializing-headers-and-cookies) for details and further guidance.
